hi ramesh,
i read both of the links that you suggested. thank you.
i get the feeling that the make folder private option is only for folders
under documents and settings, which doesn't make sense to me, but maybe i'm
missing something.
is it possible to make a folder like this private c:\inderam\?

: SYMPTOMS
: You may be unable to select the Make this folder private option on the
: Sharing tab in the properties for a folder. The option may be unavailable.
:
: CAUSE
: This issue can occur for either of the following reasons:
:
: The folder is not in your user profile (Drive_letter:\Documents and
: Settings\User_name, where Drive_letter is the drive on which Windows XP is
: installed and User_name is your user name). The Make this folder private
: option is available only for files in your user profile (the My Documents
: folder and its subfolders, and the Cookies, Desktop, Start Menu, or
: Favorites folders).
