password security in Home edition vs Pro

C

Craig

I currently am using XP Home edition. I would like to setup accounts
so files are inaccessible to others with accounts on my computer. Does
the Home edition provide what I need or do I need the Pro edition for
this?

Thanks,
Craig

You can do this with WinXP Home.

You can do this in Home by creating the user accounts and then making
each user's My Documents private.
