| 337753 | 2005-03-25 00:29:00 | On a network with more than 2 computers, is it possible to share a folder with only 1 computer, so the others can't even see it. | Phil B (648) | ||
| 337754 | 2005-03-25 00:32:00 | I don't think so (but then Ive never tried it) Once you share a folder, its shared for all |

| 337755 | 2005-03-25 00:34:00 | I think it is possible. You can assign a folder access right to a specific computer that you want, but I am not too sure how. Cheers :thumbs: | Renmoo (66) | ||
| 337756 | 2005-03-25 00:48:00 | You can do it if the folder is in your user profile in documents & settings. I want to do it with any folder on any hard drive | Phil B (648) | ||
| 337757 | 2005-03-25 00:57:00 | What are the OS'es on the other computers? | Dannz (1668) | ||
| 337758 | 2005-03-25 01:00:00 | All Xp. Some home, some pro | Phil B (648) | ||
| 337759 | 2005-03-25 01:15:00 | It is possible but the one computer that needs to be able to view it will have to type it in manually just add $ to the end of the share name | Dannz (1668) | ||
| 337760 | 2005-03-25 01:24:00 | Possible with XP pro. You have to enable Advanced File Sharing not Simple File Sharing then set permissions etc. Lucy |
