Default Office 2007 - share folders with one user and block another


I have folders on my computer that I need to share with one other user,
but no other person signing on (i.e. guest) should be able to access
them. So far it seems that either I share folders with all Users or no
one. Does anyone know how to limit access to folders to one or two
Users and block others who use this same computer in 2007?

First, I assume you do not have the "Guest" account turned on. If you do, I
suggest turning it off. Also, I'm assuming here you are not talking about
network sharing. After that you can control who has access to your folders
based on who has an actual login account on your PC. If you have multiple
accounts on your PC and want to limit the access of those accounts to
certain folders, then you adjust the permissions on that particular folder.
Right-click on the folder in question, choose "Properties" and click on the
"Security" tab. There you can configure who has permissions to do such
things as Modify, Read, or have Full control.
