Making Folders Private

[DLN]

I just installed XP on my computer & have set up an
administrator account for my husband & I, as well as
a "visitor" account for other people that may use our
computer. The visitor account has limited access.
Now...the problem I'm having is that I have our finances
on a quicken program, but I'm having trouble making it
private so that "visitors" can't access our financial
information. I'm also having trouble making any of our
other folders private. In the sharing tab, the place
where you check "make folder private" is grayed out. Any
ideas? I'm getting frustrated! Thanks!

Is your drive formatted NTFS? It needs to be in order
for the make folders private option to appear.
