I have been taking a look at the following web page:

I have been able to get the new system set up so the other computers
can now access certain parts of it that I have chosen to share; eg
folders with digital photos in.
I just wondered how many people have a lot of experience with Windows
XP when it comes to user permissions?
I have three systems on a Network. One Win 98se, One XP Pro, the
other XP Home. I am a little baffled by the access levels. If I want
to allow one system (XP Pro) connected on the network to have level 4
or 5 access to everything on the XP Home System how can I set this up?
Is it possible to without letting the other system have the same
access?
Since I added the new XP Home machine to the network, there seems to
be something else within the user accounts on the Pro machine. It says
"ASP.NET Machine A..." It is listed as a limited password protected
account? What is this? Is it the XP Home machine and the access it
has to certain folder on my Pro machine?
In XP Home, in the User account settings their seems to be two
choices, either Administrator or Limited account.
I have taken a look at the differences between the two types of
accounts here:

If a User is set up on a Limited account, are their any problems that
could arise? It doesn't have a tick in the box that says "access and
read all non-private files". Would this mean that the user would have
trouble opening a lot of files? Even his own after he had created
them? Would the user be able to save things still? I'm a little
confused on this, and just what a Limited user can and can not do in
terms of everyday computer use.
I would like to prevent a few users from installing and running
programs, but I would still like them to be able to run things already
on the system. I wouldn't want there to be problems with running
things like Explorer and Messenger.
Cheers for any advice
