Hi
Thanks for the reply, I think I am being stupid or missing something, I can
share a folder but I tried the IP address of my wife's pc and it said it
cant find it, I have SHARE as an option or advanced options, Share lets me
do the obvious with anyone, Advanced is weird, it gives me people to share
with but they are Me, My wife on this PC and that's it, I tried adding her
IP address and got no where, to be honest I am a little lost. I know I can
share and the network is open because if I share the whole drive or a folder
every PC in the house can use it, but to try and let just my wife's laptop
see it is not beyond me just eluding me at the moment.
Any help or if you feel I missing something important that would be great.

Since you have Ultimate, you can create fine-grained permissions. Simply
make separate user accounts - with passwords - on your computer for your
wife, yourself, and your kids. Make the one for your wife match the one on
her laptop. If she isn't currently using a password, assign one. You can
always set her computer to log in automatically to her account.
The instructions at this link work for both XP and Vista:
Configure Windows to Automatically Login (MVP Ramesh) -
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm
Then create a folder on the external drive and put whatever you want to
share with her exclusively in it. IOW, don't just try and share the whole
drive. On that folder, assign permissions so that only your account and
your wife's account have read/write access. Make sure child objects
(whatever folders/files are in there) inherit permissions from the parent
(the "exclusive" folder you made). Then if your kids try to access that
folder, they will get "access denied".

I agree with you but it might be easier to share the whole drive then go
in and REMOVE the everyone setting on the two he doesn't want to share.
Then add he and his wife with full access. He only wants to restrict the
children from two folders.

The software is already there on the computer. It's called NTFS.
Yes, you use it by simply going to the folders and to the Security tab on
the folders and adding or removing what user accounts can access the folders
and the permissions or no permissions the user will have on the folders. If
a user account is not on the folder, then the user has no rights on the
folder period.
You'll have to use Control/Panel/Folder Options to go to the View tab and
uncheck Simple File Sharing, which will expose the Security tab when you
use Explore to right-click the folder and use Properties..
http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/Content/592/1.html#1
You should delete the Users(machine-name\users) off of the folder, because
all users of the computer will have the permissions for what ever Users is
set to, or uncheck everything for Users and leave it.
