| 330886 | 2005-03-05 07:19:00 | I run windows XP home edition, and currently have two accounts set up on this machine. Both are set up as administrators with full accces to all areas. I am looking at setting up a third and want this account to have limited access - in particular to the documents of the other users. So when I set it up as a limited account and log on as the third person i can still just go through my computer, c drive, docs and settings, etc etc and nothing is restricted. I have scanned the help section but cannot seem to find a solution. Anyboy got any ideas ? Cheers |

| 330887 | 2005-03-05 08:28:00 | I use XP Pro but I think you should be able to right click on the properties of the admin users folders and make the folders/files private. If not post again and there is another option. Maybe tomorrow night when I haven't so much to drink I can explain better. | berryb (99) | ||
| 330888 | 2005-03-05 08:32:00 | Is your C: drive formatted in NTFS or FAT32? Fat32 doesn't support permissions etc. | ninja (1671) | ||
| 330889 | 2005-03-05 20:28:00 | Berry b - I have tried that since i spied it in a previous discussion but it appears on XP homie edition the box cannot be ticked (appears grey rather than black and white !) ninja - FAT32. This is the wrong answer I guess ? |
