  No, Windows does not let you to set passwords that limit access to shared folders. However, if you are not on a domain, you can limit network access to the Public folder by turning password protected sharing or disable. This allows only people with a user account and the password for your computer to access the Public folder over the network.

  Whether you are on a domain or not, you can limit access to other folders by choosing to share only with specific people, grant share permissions. Permissions can be granted to an individual or a group of users on the same network, allowing them to access your shared folders. You can also set the level of access, allowing people to just open shared files, or also to change, create, or delete. For more information, see

  Does anyone have a simple way (for a dummy) to solve this. If I disconnect my wireless router and laptop and turn the two again this sorts the problem temporarily, but it does not provide a definitive solution.  I use a new laptop and my old one has been scrapped, so I do not know whence this 'conflict '.  My old laptop had Windows XP operating system and my new Windows 7.  I hope that someone can provide a solution to this annoying problem.

  Hi Figgerty,

  have you tried these steps?

• How to import bookmarks from another computer on the network?

  I have an old computer that has firefox on it with a large number of bookmarks. I want to import the bookmarks into this new computer on my home network. How can I do this? It would also be useful if in the course of the transfer bookmarks would get in alphabetical order.

  You can export to HTML bookmarks in the Bookmarks window. It's now called "show all bookmarks". The last button on the toolbar in the window is the one that you are using and choose export. You can then save the bookmarks in HTML whenever you want. With the new computer, use the same toolbar button and choose Import and import the HTML file.
