PLEASE HELP!!!
I setup a new WinXP Pro in Peer to Peer network with Win98,
WinXP Clients can access the share folder on Win98 with password control,
but Win98 Clients can access all the share folder on WinXP Pro without any
security control,
how can setup the security control in WinXP? I hope all the client need to
type the password when access share folder of other PC .

WinXP Pro doesn't have passwords for shared folders. It has a much
more powerful security mechanism, based on user accounts.

Disable simple file sharing and specify access control lists for
shared folders. Ron Lowe and I have written a web site with details:
