Thanks. But I´ve got my harddisk split into two parts. One is running with
Windows XP Pro and the second is Windows 98 SE. I think, that 98 SE needs a
FAT32 file system. So there isn´t any solution, is it?

Thanks.

Now, when you right click on a drive, folder or file (on an NTFS partition) and select Properties, you'll see a Security tab. Here you can assign or deny permissions based on user name or user group membership.

To change the permissions on other folders, you need to boot the computer to Safe Mode and log in on the built in Administrator account. In this mode, you'll see the Security tab in Properties, and you can assign permissions based on user name or group membership.
