I'm also new to XP Pro and although it's installed on a 2nd hard disk on a
dual boot system, I feel I have to leave the XP partition Fat32 so both 98SE
and XP can access it. I'm glad I choose this because I'm finding many apps
and games run unaltered with no need to re-install by simply creating new
links to their present location. Some of these are on the XP partition and
if it was NTFS, 98SE would need it's own separate copy to run.

I am disappointed however that so much of the "individuals security access"
seems based in the file system. Because of this, it's seems I might as well
not have bother creating separate accounts for my kids and wife. Why bother
when they can "roam around" almost anywhere anyway?
