I need help configuring file sharing on a Windows XP network.  I'm
looking for specific instructions to address the following situation:

I have a small business with four computer users and five computers:

- three Windows XP Professional machines (1/employee)
- one Mac OS X powerbook (1 employee)
- one Windoxs XP Home Edition machine (used as a storage box to save
corporate files)

All of the machines are currently networked (via a Linksys wireless
access point) and file sharing is enabled in such a way that all of
the users can read and write files to the Windows XP Home Edition
machine which is being used as a storage box.

Going forward, I would like to make some of the files on the storage
box available to only a sub-set of my team (e.g., sensitive files that
only myself and my business partner should be able to access).  I
believe there is a way to use NTFS encryption to handle this
situation, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Thank you for your help.



All of the machines are connected to the web and to the storage box through 
a Linksys wireless access point / router.  We use the storage box to store 
and share all of our corporate files.

Going forward, we'd like to create folders on the storage box that only a 
sub-set of the team can access (e.g., we want to create an "executive" folder 
that includes sensitive HR-related files).  Can anyone tell me how to 
configure the network machines to get this result?

Thank you!
