Convert to NTFS?

[Andy C]

When I recently installed XP Home I retained the FAT32
file format used by ME. I am now considering converting
to NTFS. But is it worth it? I'm not on a network and
the only other user account on the PC is for my 4 year
old son.

Gateful for any views on the pros and cons of converting.

Thanks

Andy, under your circumstances, I sure wouldn't bother doing it.

Leave it be.

READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE CHOOSING!!! Very Informative.
Many users didn't mention the better stability, reliability, and
performance.

Well enough alone. If you were a geek it would already be NTFS, since it's
not you're not and if you frig you will feel bad and so on and be almost in
tears and wondering why you didn't leave well enough alone and now how am I
gonna fix this mess and oh no ..
