if you're using XP Pro, you can do this. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/usi...cesscontrol.asp (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/security/accesscontrol.asp)

the gist of it: in Explorer, click Tools -> Folder Options -> View, then scroll to the end of the advanced options and disable "simple file sharing." when you click on a drive or folder's properties, there will now be a security menu available where you can set access restrictions for each user.
