Make this folder private

[tpman3]

How can I turn this function on? I have xp pro, sp2. I can share just fine, but can't use the make folder private private option. It is grayed out. How cqan I make a directory private/password protected or even hidden?

To set NTFS file system permsissions more specifically, turn simple file sharing off.
