(dutch) Ik snap er de ballen van (/dutch)

Could someone please tell me how I cas share a windows XP folder (drive wha'eva) with a password only.
So the general guest account may be used, but it needs to be pasworded.

I tried, I faild and I'm crying for help here.

Put guest-info on ftp-server or IIS-server?

Make 2 accounts : "Guest" + "Guest Pass", and share the particular dir for "Guest Pass"

To my knowledge you cannot "password" a shared dir in XP without setting up a server.

that works also in XP, disable simple file sharing in Tools -> Options in explorer

The point is that I can remotely load ISO's trough windows networking (daemon tools doens't have a built in FTP client) but without people being able to download via networking. (FTP or CD++ only)
Or those people I'd like to have access off course.
