In Vista, when i am sharing folders, I always pick the "Everyone" choice when asked whom I want to share it with. But what happens obviously is that every PC (usually up to 4 PCs) that is connected to my network can access the folder and files that I shared. Is it possible to just pick one or two PCs that can access the said shared folder. I allow all of them to be connected to my network just because of the internet access but I just want 1 of them to access my folder. FYI: All the PCs are running Vista. Any help would be awesome. thanks.

thanks for the response but i've already tried that but i can't find the names of the users in the list. it just says Guest, MyUserName, Everyone, Create a New User. How can I find the name of the user connected to my network (via a router). I just want to share the files with him and not to the other ones connected to my network.
Thanks.
