Thanks for your time.Maybe the problem is that the hard drive uses FAT32?And the options are limited?That is what i was told.Could be? Any way,nothing works and my folders are very public!
And i noticed,that all users,even with limited accounts,can access to PC/documents and settings,and all that is in PC.Is that suppose to be like that?Any one can delete everything from there?Cause my daughter has a limited account and she can get into there and make a mess!
One more thing,do you speak spanish?It would be easier for me,thanks.
