I installed windows xp home edition on drive that already
had win xp home edition. (i'll leave the reason for that
out of the discussion).
After installing windows xp again, i am unable to access
the user folder under documents and settings from the
previous windows xp installation. When i right click on
the folder and go to properties, i don't get a security
tab. So i can't change any security settings. I need to
access some files from that folder. please help.

Thanks
 
you need to reset the permissions on the folders (as
administrator). Home is broken, some things are hard to
find and modify, other stuff simply does not exit. On the
real xp you just use the security tab after a right
click...
 
Thanks, I know i need to change the permissions on the
folder. the question is how do i do it, since i can't get
to the security tab.
