Jeremy, Thanks for your answer. I actually tried creating a different share per subfolder but I couldn't override the "security = share in [global]" setting in individual share with "security = user" or vice versa. If I had "security = share in [global]", then I couldn't enable login prompt for any of the individual share and that's what I need. I'd appreciate your help! Thanks. - Kevin
