Some background info:
I just finished installing the LLTD update for windows xp so that I could add my windows xp computer to my home network to allow file sharing and such and I got all the file sharing to work except for one feature that I believe is crucial.
The problem
The file sharing works fine except that other people on the network can modify the files. I want the files to be read only. I want to be the only one on the network that has the rights to modify or add new files.
Some information:
This is what I get when I right click the folder that I want to share on the network.

As you can see, I can choose to make the files read only by unchecking the box "allow users to change my files", but then that would omit me from changing them as well and I want to be able to modify them.
The question is
How do I make myself the only user on the network that can modify the files while allowing the other users to view and download the files to their local machines?
