    Don't think so, isn't that the idea of shared folders to allow people to see, and therefore by default copy stuff. You can stop them from changing and deleting though.

    In xp if your using the guest account to share (or anotherone), just put a password on it.

    there is a program out there that locks(password )
    your own folders


    When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all

    Maybe the original poster needs to clarify what they're trying to achieve.

    If they want to prevent access to files then, yes, it is possible within xp.

    If he wants to provide access to them but prevent those same people from copying them, then, no, whatever you use, to my knowledge, won't provide that.

    I don't know how the xbox network thing works, but couldn't you just set a password for your share account on the pc (XP), and then provide these details to the xbox config file? This way your files will never be accessible to anyone else.

    In XP there is an option to turn off the 'Use simple file sharing (Recommended)' option. This option can be found in Windows Explorer under [Tools] [Folder options...] [View] in the 'Advanced Settings:' list box (Right down the bottom). Turning off this option allows you to customise your permissions.
