    Hi,

    This is not really a Windows Forum but what the hell.

    Create a share:

    • right click a folder/drive and select "Sharing and Security"
    • click "New Share" (the default share for a drive like C$ is only available for administrators)
    • enter the name of the share
    • click Permissions
    • add the user you want to be able to connect to the share (if you add users, all known users can connect to the share)

    Show the share as a drive:

    • go to explorer
    • in the menu go to Tools\Map Network Drive
    • in the dialog box, set the location of the shared folder
    • (optionally) click the "different user name" to connect to the share using a different user name
    • check the "Reconnect at logon"

    NOTE: by default Windows XP does not allow connections without a password (it is possible to disable this via policies)
