XP Home Edition

In setting up a user password I clicked the make files
private button. I now realize this was a mistake, as the
files cannot be accessed by other users.

I would like to remove the private designation. When I
go to explorer and right click on the folder, to enable
file sharing, I find the function grayed out and a note
which says that the folder cannot be enabled because it
is in another folder which is private. It doesn't tell
me how to find this other folder.

How do I remove the private feature or locate the other
folder(s) so that I can disable it too?

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks

This web page may have exactly what you need. It's actually quite well laid
