343363 2005-04-11 11:31:00 Well firstly I don't think there is probably anything too exciting under that folder under All Users (I don't even have one on my XP pro machine it is called Shared Documents).

The purpose of the All Users area is to mainly to allow a program to do boring stuff such as add a shortcut to the Start Menu for all users when a program is installed (or on the desktop). However, the Shared Documents folder allows all users of the PC to share documents without doing something like filling up the root of the drive with loads of folders.

this blog link (blogs.msdn.com) seems relevant (I believe you can run cacls under XP Home).

Alerantively you can reboot into safe mode and with a NTFS formatted drive you get the option to set security XP Pro Style. See here (www.tweakxp.com)
