Marble,  
Thank you so much for your help here.  
I’ll be looking into these posts more. when it comes to security of the computer, wouldn’t designating a folder as shared limit the risk? I mean, if I have one folder that I want to share files with others (the guestbook link in the first post is in that folder), how secure would that be?
