    You don't do it directly. You do this by modifying the share permissions. You need to remove "everyone" form the list and add only the users who you want to be able ot access the share. Then, when someone attmepts to connect they will be prompted for a user name and password.

    You could use CACLS. Check out the options with CACLS by itself, and it will display them.

    cacls wouldnt be the best option for that tho bc if you need to change the rights you have to use comand prompt or a batch file using the others method described would work better its easier to do also

    First turn off simple file sharing. To do this go to Folder Options, then click the view tab and scroll to the bottom and remove the check mark from "Use simple file sharing" Then when you go to properties of a folder or drive, it will look like the picture below. From here you can set the permissions.
