Changing user sharing limit in WinXP Pro

[Guest]

Is there a way to expand the number of concurrent users beyond 10 in WinXP of
a shared document?

No. You need to install a Server version of Windows,
such as Windows Server 2003.

Short of replacing WinXP with a Server OS, no.

server wasn't an option for a few software updates on some training
laptops--so i had to make do with peer-to-peer. I figured XP was limited to
10 but was hoping I could get 12 at a time to share--oh well!

Is there a way to increase the number of users in Home Edition? Seem to be
limited to about 6 users.

One cannot increase the limit beyond five in XP Home.
