This is doable under NT, where you can assign permissions on a file-by-fuile basis. As long as you run NT, and restrict access on folders that you don't want people to access, it's pretty straightforward. You need to use NTFS as your file system on the drive you want to share and selectively grant or deny access to, and you need to be careful to restrict access explicitly on folders you don't want other uses to access. And the usual caveats for accessing an NT system exist - users are granted access based on a userid/password basis, noty based solely on knowledge of a password; you'll have to have users log into the NT box (or if in an NT server environment, an NT server that authorizes access on behalf of the workstation) explicitly.

If you're using Win9x by itself, you can't do it.
