When you open the properties of a folder you want to share in ME the sharing tab looks like this.

When you do the same thing in XP the sharing tab looks like this.

When you select the Access Type Depends on Password in ME, it will prompt you to enter the password you set when you try to access it from another computer.

Does XP have this capability, or is that setting such a weak security measure they decided not to even include it?
