in XP *HOME*
Hahahahahahaaaa you use XP home? You don't deserve hard drive space.
Why do people even bother trying Vista?
Why do you bother posting? Seemed like a good idea at the time, huh?
Sorry Cygnus that you had to find out the hard way about Vista.
That's not learning the hard way about Vista, that is learning the hard way about XP Home.
In order to get access to the security permissions in the Home version of Windows XP, you need to restart into Safe Mode by holding F8 during boot-up. Once you are in Safe Mode, an extra tab will be added to Folder Properties which allows you to grant access permissions as seen in Windows XP Professional.
That's a fantastic tip. Would never have known you could do that... Thanks Seb!
