private files

[Guest]

I have been trying to make user files private using the following instruction
To make your folders privat
Open My Computer.
Double-click the drive where Windows is installed (usually drive (C, unless you have more than one drive on your computer).
If the contents of the drive are hidden, under System Tasks, click Show the contents of this drive

Double-click the Documents and Settings folder.
Double-click your user folder.
Right-click any folder in your user profile, and then click Properties.
On the Sharing tab, select the Make this folder private so that only I have access to it check box.
But the box for marking private is grey and will not accept an x. I have tried making the drive NTFS format and that did not work. Any suggestions? I am using a sony laptop
