I put this under the category of "MCDST Studies" because it is a popular subject for those aiming to achieve their MCDST certification. However, it could be included in "Tips and Tricks" as well, but I digress. Here is a little introduction of the KB article:
On a Windows XP-based computer, you can share files among both local and remote users. Local users log on to your computer directly through their own accounts or through a Guest account. Remote users connect to your computer over the network and access the files that are shared on your computer.
You can access the Simple File Sharing UI by viewing a folder's properties. Through the Simple File Sharing UI, you can configure both share and NTFS file system permissions at the folder level. These permissions apply to the folder, all the files in that folder, child folders, and all the files in the child folders. Files and folders that are created in or copied to a folder inherit the permissions that are defined for their parent folder. This article describes how to configure access to your files based on permission levels. Some of the information that this article contains about these permission levels is not documented in the operating system files or the Help file.
