EDIT:

Me and my cousing share the ADSL connection thorough my Netgear DG-824M Internet Gateway. I want to share some folders which is not a problem but there is one folder i have that i want to share but i dont want him to be able to acccess.

The only person that can access that folder should be me, thought my account on his computer.

I am running Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition & her is running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edtion

How can i possible achieve this (not domains...LOL)

Few different ways this can be done - without domains ;)

First thing is turn off that stupid simple sharing option - nothing but trouble!!

If you know the admin account on machine 1 - you can connect to the C$ share - giving the admin account using net use, and or when it asks on a simple unc connect - ie \\machinename\c$

When it asks for username and password - for username use machinename\username and then the password. <--- Machine name is the machine name your connecting too, not the one you coming from

If you want have it show up as share - share it, making sure only your account has file permissions. On machine 2 - if you have the same username and password on that machine, you will be able to connect without being asked to auth.

Or if the directory is shared - and your account on machine 2 is different than the account on machine 1. Just give the correct username and password when connecting, as in the example above.

etc.. etc.. etc..

Again - make sure that STUPID simple file sharing is turned OFF!!!
