Hello, I have a computer that logs on to a domain. I install lots of software on other PCs that are braught to my office. My PC has two nic cards, one to join the domain and one to connect (via a crossed cat 5 cable) to the PC I am installing. I would like to share some installation folders/drives only with the other PC (the one I am installing on). Is there a way to create a shared folder/drive password in XP (as in 98). I would prefer password protecting the shared data than setting the user rights to access it.

No. All (network/samba) rights in Windows XP revolve around user permissions.
You could install an FTP server (Filezilla is a free open source project with an FTP server and client.) You could then setup your own user/password combinations independant of Windows user rights.
