We have 3 PC's on our LAN. 2 x win98 PC's and one running XP. We do not have a server. Is it possible to restrict access to one of the shared folders on the XP PC so that only one of the win98 PC's can access it?

 
If Simple File Sharing is not disabled, shared folders will
not be password-protected.

In windows explorer goto tools > folder options

Uncheck Use simple file sharing.
Click Apply and then click OK.

This should bring back your security tab window on the folder.
