Local Security Policy problem - Need Help

P

Patrick Lawler

I'm trying to enable auditing on my XP Home User Computer. The instructions
for doing so, that I've listed below, do not bring me to where I should be.
When I go to ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS as stated, I do not see the LOCAL SECURITY
POLICY choice. Can someone tell me another way to do this or am I missing
some part of my operating system that allows me to do this?
Thanks
Patrick

Those directions are for XP Pro
Hopefully someone familiar with Home (I am not) can
fill you in on how to do this in Home edition.
