File Sharing in Windows Vista

[Reece]

Hello,
I have a file that I want to share by limiting the people who access simultaneously. I look for the limited number of users and permissions button
but I did not find. Any help !

To create or modify a network share using advanced settings, follow these steps:

• On the Sharing tab, click Advanced Sharing. Select the Share this Folder check box.Accept or change the proposed share name.
  
• Note If the folder is already shared, and you want to add another share name (perhaps with different permissions), click Add, and then type the name for the new share. The share name is the name that other users will see in their own Network folders. Windows initially proposes to use the folder’s name as its share name. That’s usually a good choice, but you’re not obligated to accept it. If you already have a shared folder with that name, you’ll need to pick a different name.
  
• Type a description of the folder’s contents in the Comments box. Other users will see this description when they inspect the folder’s properties dialog box in their Network folder (or when they use the Details view).
  
• To limit the number of users who can connect to the shared folder concurrently, specify a number in the Limit the number of simultaneous users to box. Windows Vista permits up to 10 concurrent users. (If you need to share a folder with more than 10 users at once, you must use a server version of Windows.) Click Permissions.
  
• In the Group or user names box, select the name of the user or group you want to manage. The share permissions for the selected user or group appear in the permissions box.
  
• Select Allow, Deny, or neither for each access control entry.
  
• Note To remove a name from the Group or user names box, select the name, and then click Remove. To add a name to the list, click Add. Enter the names of the users and groups you want to add. Click OK in each dialog box.

The only way to reduce the load on your computer due to shared folder is by giving access to specific and required people. Well this can be a situation but sometimes you need to share some files publicly with many people. In Windows Vista there is a way to fix this. When you share a folder select the advanced mode and you will see something which is pretty new. There is a number drop down which allows you to limit the number of simultaneous users on a folder. This solves the issue if you
