Sharing of NTFS partition data under Windows XP

Q: The operating system installed on my computer is Windows XP. I use NTFS file system. I want to share some information to some colleagues in the company LAN. I can see that everyone can see after setting sharing. I want to Set a password when sharing to restrict unrelated people from accessing the folder, and no relevant options were found. Is there any way to achieve this?
A: The default sharing method for Windows XP installation is “Simple sharing”, which makes it impossible to set a shared password. You can cancel this sharing method and use the username and password instead. Way of sharing. The specific steps are as follows.
1. Cancel the default “Simple Share”. Double-click to open “My Computer", select “Tools → Folder Options", click the “View” tab in the dialog that opens, and then click to use <Use Simple Sharing (Recommended) ) & rdquo; check before the item.
2. Create a shared user. On the system desktop, use the mouse to select “Start → Control Panel”, then open “user account”, create a user with a password, such as create a user name abc.
3. Set the folder you need to share. Right-click on the folder you want to share (assuming the shared folder is files), click the "Share & Security" button, then select “Share →Share this folder", click the "Permissions" button Then click the “Delete” button to delete the permission of any user (everyone) to share the folder, click the “Add” button, click ““Advanced → Find Now”. Select user abc, click the “OK" button to add user abc, and select the share permissions of user abc. In the future, if the computer on the LAN wants to view the contents of the shared folder you set, you can enter it only by entering the correct username and password.
