XFCE and Samba shares password

When installing the xfce4 group, does that include samba?
If it does include samba, how do i set a password that would be required when browsing network files?
(in kde plasma i think there is a gui to set a password for samba shares, but i can not figure out how to set password for samba shares in xfce)

[edit] also is there a way to completely disable samba?

Re: XFCE and Samba shares password

Pacman tells you what will be installed when you tell it to install a group, why are you asking us?

r.e. samba configuration, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba

Mod note: moving to NC.

Sorry for my noob question, but it seems that the xfce4 group does not pull in any samba related programs, if i'm correct.
[edit] Does that mean, i can not share folders over network?

Of course you can, but you'll need to install and configure samba first.
