Permission Help!!

[Candace Sparks]

We have a peer to peer network, with XP Home on 3 computers. I know that
permissions are a problem with Home, and we are having problems restricting
access. It seems like the group Everyone is a problem. Would their be an
advantage to upgrading to XP Pro?

Thank you for your help in advance!

If this is a business, then certainly Pro would give you the
fine-grained permissions you might want. Here are some links about
that. In the meantime, take a look at the Microsoft Shared Computer
Toolkit and see if that might meet your needs instead.
