Does it matter that I have Windows set up so that I do not need to log on. I
am the only houselhold member to use it?

No, it doesn't matter.

I have WinXP-Home edition and just installed a new HD and formatted NTFS,
previously I still have been working with FAT32. I am the only user and am
computer administrator. I am being denied access to a folder. (System
Volume Info). I know not to mess with the folder but wish to have full
access to everything on the computer. Since there is no permissions in
XP-Home, what must I do to have access to all folders and sumfolders. I
have
enabled "view-access to hidden and system folders. Thank you


Boot into Safe Mode by restarting your computer and tapping on the F8 key
until
you see the Windows Advanced Options menu. Use the Up arrow key to select
Safe
Mode. Hit the Enter key.

In Safe Mode, log in with an account that is a computer administrator. In
Windows Explorer, locate the System Volume Information folder and right click
on
it. Select Properties from the menu. You should now be able to access the
Security tab. Add the Administrators group and assign Full Control
permissions.

Restart your computer and boot into normal mode. Log on with an account that
is
a computer administrator. You should be able to view the contents of the SVI
folder.

Good luck
