Hi,
a few month back, I bought my new Sony Vaio Notebook, with Win XP Pro
installed. When I first fired up the new toy, Windows made me go through
some configuration and questions.
One of the questions was something like that : "Do you want to make your
folders/documents PRIVATE " ???? Well, at this point I answered YES ! I
finished the installation and registration and everything seemed to be fine,
but very soon, I discovered a problem.
Here is the problem :
I have a small network setup and I allow two users to fully access my
computer. I will share my "My Documents" and other folders. There is no
problem with sharing and accessing ANY folders, except for the "My
Documents" folder. I can make a new share, can add users and set the
permissions for the specific users, but I CANNOT add the user to the
"Security". If I try to add the user under security, I get a BSOD and the
system reboots !!!
I never installed or configured Win XP Pro with the "Make Folder Private"
option ( never had to deal with a pre-installed WinXP ), but it seems like
this is the problem. I DON'T want to move or copy my "My Documents" folder
to a different location so that others can access it, but want to remove the
"Make Folder Private" thingy ! Is there any way to do this ? So far I am out
of luck.
Please help !!! Thanks.
