You can do this with the rights windows already has built in. On the computer that has the shared folder right click on the folder, click properties, click the sharing tab. Win9x you can password it right there, WinXP/NT/2k create a user/group and password, click on permsission, disallow all, add the user/group you want to have permissions.

but then how can i do this through coding so that when my desktoplock program is running at that time only the sharing whould be ristricted otherwise it should be accessable on the network..and so that no one has to enter any password when the desktoplock program is not running and it should open directly without askng for password..
help me pls

You mean so that only one person has access at a time?

like if there is d: and some other folder shared on a perticular machine that is on network and if on that machine the desktoplock program is run, so when that perticular program is running at that time only the shared drive or folder should be not accessable for the network machines and when that perticular desktoplock program is not running that time those share's that were not accessable should be accessable

or in other words how to make a shared folder or drive accessable or inaccessable through vb

Search on how to disable services, and use that code to disable the service called "Server". and of course enable it when you want it to share again.
