I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to set folder permissions on a
shared folder. The problem is, my computer is set up on a small workgroup on
a large network, and within our workgroup we have to share certain files
amongst ourselves, however I don't know how to keep these important, private
files from being accessed anywhere else on the network. Is there a way to set
a password to these files that only we would know in order to still gain
access to these files but also to keep them from the rest of the network?

Where are these shared folders? Local machine or server? You cannot secure a
file with a password in Windows. Windows uses Share permissions and NTFS
Folder/File permissions to control access and security.

If you really have a large network then what is most likely the
best way for you to go is to ask to have a server-based sharing
area established for the working group's use.
