      I cant hide my files. I'm the administrator. When
i go to a directory and click on 'Properties', 'Sharing'
tab, and try to click the 'Make this folder private'
box. It doesn't work. The 'Make this folder private'
tab is dimmed. I am not the one who installed Windows XP
on my computer. I hypothesize that the person who
installed Windows XP on my computer set system security
settings that limit my control over my computer
