HOW TO: share public folders w/o pword and other folders with pwor

i have 1 vista and 1 xp sp2 machine in a workgroup environment. how do i set
the vista machine to let the public folder and printer be shared thru the
guest user (no user/pword required, restricted by firewall to subnet only)
AND allow manually created shares to be accessed by thru a login/pword?

in other words, do i have to turn on "password protected sharing" to let
users access shares that require a login? i'm under the impression that i
have to do so, hence my question.

thanks
