Hello Group,

I want to make my own folder and its associated files private from any
other user accessing the local drive C: on a locally shared computer
having multiple user accounts running Windows XP professional.

I did some research and found out that it is possible if the partition
on required drive is NTFS and my formatting on C: drive is NTFS.

I know there must be a simple solution.

When I right click on my folder and look at the properties and click
on Sharing then under "Local sharing and security" the "Make this
folder private " is greyed out and I can not check it to make it
private.

The other option is to move the whole folder under Document and
Setting folder, which is undesirable.

Simpe file shareing option should work on Windows XP prosessional
however it does not work. As many times as I uncheck it, it comes
back with a checked option.

Can someone help please.
