ok ! I'll Solve it for you ! Just do excactly what I say : First of all you must have more than one user accounts on your XP . for making a Dirve, Directory, File ,etc privait, you could just limit other users that have logged in by thair own account, not your account ! any way ! - Go to Control Panel/Administrative Tool/Local Security Policy - now go to Local Policies/Security Options- Find the key named : Network access : Sharing and security modle for local accounts - Rigt click on it, chose Properties and change the value to : Classic - local users authenticate as themselvs - Press OK and Restart your computer - now when you go to a Dirve, Directory, File, etc properties you would see a new Tab called Security, in this place you can chose any uese names and make Limitations for them ! That is all ! If there is any questions , feel free to askin' me !
