I originally posted this on someone else's question thread, but I thought I'd
repost it on a fresh thread, so it's not 4 or 5 pages back. anyway, my
problem is with permissions in windows xp. I know I need to get to the
security tab in the properties window to edit them, and every place I look
for an answer (including the other thread) says I need to go to the view tab
in the folder options window and uncheck "Use simple file sharing."
I'm trying to do this, but I don't seem to have a "Use Simple
File Sharing" box in the view tab of my folder options box.
I wonder if it's because I messed up my permissions so thoroughly.
See, I'm running a dual boot with XP home and Vista buisiness (64-bit) and I
foolishly changed the ownership of the "Documents and Settings" folder on the
XP Drive to my Vista Profile, and now of course I can't get into my XP
profile.
I created a new account to try to change permissions back, but as I said,
the box I need to uncheck isn't even visible.
Any Ideas?
