Hi everyone, Merry Christmas too, hope you are all well!!
I dont know where to start, so here goes..
For Christmas I am getting an Acer Aspire One AO751h-52Yk, I would like to share my hard drives (main and backup) over the network so i can use the programs and files on them on the laptop. so far i have managed to enable sharing on them but i would like to password protect them if possible. Is there any was to do this? the OS on my main pc is Vista Business and on the laptop it will be Vista Home Basic, would it still work?

thanks, Daniel. :D

UPDATE; tried to access the files/folders on my dads computer and it asks me for a user name and password, any ideas on what that could be? :confused:
