How to folders their own log-ins into Enterprise Server [server enterprise] [folders]
Q: I have a shared hard drive, and now I want only a specific folder to have to log in a password / user can access, is that possible? I have not found the right way to do this.

well, just browse to that computer from any other computer on that network… the username and password of the user that is logged into the other computer will be sent to the destination computer for authentication
yeah, I understand this, but how can I add the pc that browses the server to be able to authenticate with the server?

Re:Right click on the folder, go to properties. Click the security tab. Click on Advanced. Uncheck the "inherit…" box, and choose "copy…" from the options.
Click OK on that box.
Then just add or remove people from the security on that folder as you see fit.

Are you talking about requiring a password to access a specific folder while the user is already logged in to windows? If so, that's not happening.
You can, however, set up new users on Windows, and then set the NTFS permissions on that folder to allow only the appropriate user(s) access to that folder.
now how would I go about setting it up so only certain users can access that folder?

yes, use NTFS permissions
may I ask how exactly, and will this make any user who wants to see these files 'log in' ?
