I am administrator but I cannot change my folder permisions to allow other
administrators on my computer to see my files, the checkbox for "Make this
folder private" is greyed out and checked. I can see or change any other
admin. but not mine. At one time I had a password but have since removed it.
I have tried reinstalling the password and removing again to no avail. I also
tried the "Taking ownership of a file or folder" task recommended to others.
I am using XP Home with all the updates. any ideas? Thanks Brock
