pecked:
> I have XP Home edition (SP2 and all fixes...). I have 2 user accounts

> - as 'Owner' for the 'Kids' - that puts a USER file in the 'Shared

> read. The software does not like this and gives an error message saying
> exactly that. I am trying to see if there is a way the software can look
> elswhere for this USER file. If the software can not do this, I want to

> limited 'Kids' account WITHOUT creating a Share. Basically, can you say
> this user can see these files/folders or are you stuck to the rights XP
> Home Edition gives the 'limited' user account?
