if your friend is using XP-Home, he can't set user permissions for shares, but
can set password permissions. If he's using XP-Pro, he can do it either way,
but needs to turn off "simple file sharing".  See

>From the XP command line, type "net help share" to see how to share a
directory.

  e.g., net share music="c:\my music" 

Or, from Explorer, right click on a directory, select PROPERTIES, then click
the SHARING tab.
