File sharing how do I set access to specified folder

Hi guys,

question for you, Im running windows XP and want to enable file sharing of one specific folder over a LAN. The thing is I dont want everybody on the network to have access to it just a specified person. So I turned off simple file sharing and enabled the admin verson.
The folder is located on my c drive and is called c:\downloads. I went to the specified folder right clicked and went to sharing and security clicked the tab permissions and added a guest account with only read permissons.
My question is will this work and how do I set a password so that only this person can access this folder?

Any help would be much appreciated.

PS: do I have to set the permissions for the folders with downloads aswell?
