Hi, i've searched for entries to this topic, but didn't find any. How can i set a username and a password for a certain share without enabling the guest-account, so that, if a win98-computer accesses my XP-Computer, a mask with username and password is openened. Thanks ahead!!

Hi, actually you're not able to set passwords for encrypted files, because these files just belong to their "Encryptor", so there's no necessity for a password. If you're are not the Encryptor you can also view the file, but yu're not able to open it and not asked for a username/password to do so. Creating user-accounts on my PC similar to those on the Win98-Clients won't work, cause we've got 16 PCs in our network and the other Users won't tell me their passwords (of course).

Ok, i will try and report to you later this evening.

Is is correct, that you can only encrypt files under NTFS? But if i've got to use NTFS, Win98 won't be able to read it !?!

What a fool i am! I just downloaded SP2 US-Version-only. I've installed the german version of Win2000. Is there any way to install it? I tried to set a different language within Windows, but it didn't work. I don't want to download another 100MB for the german version, please HELP!
