Password on shared drives.

Hi.
Does anyone know how i can set a password on my shared drives with XP Home?
The guides i find dont seem to apply to Home, only to Pro.

Thanks in advance all.

Is there nothing built into windows then?

Er, no.
I appriciate the atempted help there, but if that was the case, why would i be posting about it here?

I can access the shared drives on my XP home machine with any machine on my network without having to put in username or password. That can be accessing it with XP, Vista, Linux or OSX.

Is this gonna be one of the things that cant be done with Home, but can with Pro?

Done.

Hoping it works tbh.
Failing that, i'll just have to stop using Hamachi.
