hey everyone,

i'm just having an annoying problem here... to start, i
log in with my computer administrator account, and then i
goto the drive that windows is intalled on, and open the
documents and settings folder, then proceed to open my
user profile. after that, i try to password protect a
certain folder by right clicking, and then opening the
shared tab. this is the part where i'm having some
problems... for some reason, the 'make this folder
private' checkbox is grey, and i cant click it, even
though i'm logged in as the administrator, and its my own
user profile that i'm trying to password protect. does
anyone have any ideas on why windows xp isnt letting me
make the folders under my user profile private? thanks, i
would appreciate any feedback that anyone has =)
