I inadvertantly clicked this some time ago, and now the box is grayed out and
not even an option to unclick. My system is NTFS, so the suggestion to
switch to that won't help. I don't want my folders private anymore, but the
option to unclick that box is unavailable. Any ideas?

Are you trying it on the correct folder? Go to C:\ Documents and
Settings\<YourUserName> and see if you can do it there.

I am trying it in the correct folder. It is still greyed out.

spunkygirl61, What does it say in the bottom panel on the sharing tab, i.e.,
just above the OK button?
