There is also a group called "Administrators" but it is defined under my PC. What happens to the username called Administrator located on another PC? Do I have to just use individual usernames instead? Cheers ...	Nomad (952)

The easiest way to do this is to set up the same users AND PASSWORDS on your 'server' PC, that users will be connecting with. This is assuming you are NOT using "Simple File Sharing", in which ALL connections are authenticated as the user "Guest". You can certainly use groups (and define your own new groups) to control access to your shares, but the only users you can add to those groups MUST exist on your PC. If the Administrator user on another PC has the same password as yours, it will also have Admin rights on your box :)	fred_fish (15241)
