Q: I tried to figure out how to do this for a while but can not find a way. If anyone knows how to do this on a Windows XP Pro please let me know.

Re:Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed to be shared.

Correct. User level permissions in XP pro. Much more robust and effective way to secure resources anyway.
So, you create a user/password combo on the server machine that matches what the remote user is using to logon to his/her machine. You wouldn't secure with share permissions. Well you can but the recommended and preferred way is to leave share permissions wide open (everyone – full control) and lock down with NTFS permissions (the security tab in the file/folder/volume properties) You'll need to have your partitions formatted NTFS and make sure simple file sharing is off. Simple file sharing should never be used unless it's the only option, as in XP Home.
Thanks for your comments guys, but I've tried setting up permission after disabling simple mode and it didn't work because I couldn't select my brother's computer on the permission because it wouldn't appear. How do I get it to appear?

Re:This should probably go in the OS forum… but anyways…
There is no direct, built-in way that I know of to add just a password to a shared folder in XP Pro– instead, everything is based on user and network permissions.
Just add a dummy user in XP who can't login, give him a silly password, and make that user the only one who can access the shared folder when setting the remote access permissions.
