I'm not sure if you can filter out by user type, but you could put a password on the networked folder using the Windows XP "Sharing and Security" dialog and just give the password out to system admins?

Go to your shared drive/folder properties, sharing & secirity tab. Remove the "Everyone" entry and add "Administrators" group. Click ok. Voila!!

im not sure if kv is correct, but I'm pretty sure everyone who is from an outside computer is classed as a guest, if they are an admin on thier computer, it doesnt mean they are an admin on your's. I think this would have to be done with a domain server.
