Well WinXP this is more easy through the administrator, Did you try the print and sharing from the C: drive/properties?

I look under the props in Network Settings, and nothing there. I do want all of the drve accessible, just not the system folders, so that nothing happens accidently.

Goto My computer and double click and then right click the C: drive and to properties and you should see print and sharing, see if you can disable the folders you want from there. Let me know.

Well, I'm looking at the C:\ drive properties window, and in all 3 tabs, there is no mention whatsoever of 'print and sharing' or anything simular.

P.S. Are you sure this feature exists in Windows Millinium Edition?

Yes but you may not have it setup like that so you may not have your network setup for print and sharing on other computers, this I did have so I was able to see this option.

Ok goto control panel and the network icon and open it up.
You should see it there in the middle and on top a access tab.

perhaps setting the sharing for "C" to "Read Only" will do what you want?

Well, looking at what you pointed me to, I have to have a "master list" and there is no such thing on my network, because a I don't have a central server (peer-to-peer). And judging by the requirments of that setting, it's not worth it.

Thanks for your help,
