Hi...

is there any software security for network mapping drive access, such as asking password every time user access the network mapping drive?

tq
 
why not use embeded XP security or better use server 2003 ?
thats the way i did mine here, so users browsing shared stuff on network if they ever try to open my folder they will be asked a password.
am pretty sure you know how do do this right ?
 
Im sorry...i dont know how to deal with embeded xp security...can u teach me how to create password using xp security embeded?

tq
 
ok i will explain ,my setup as i did it. (but windows server offers better security)

1.First off, go to control panel and create accounts you want (yes give them passwords too).
2.Now go to folder options and disable simple file sharing.
3.Now create the folder you want to share,and go to its properties.
On the "sharing" tab go to Permissions, and remove everything especially "everyone".
Now simply add the users you created earlier.Give them ability to write and stuff but not FULL CONTROL.
You can also check the "security" tab for more advance stuff.
Now click ok and apply all changes.

This is what i did here, but i also changed some settings in the "security" tab, removing the administrator and unwanted users.

cheers

edit : i sometimes get difficulty mapping drives as it keeps prompting me for passwords but it may work in your case

if you didn't get that more can be found here
