ok, as administrator I went into "user accounts" from
control panel to set up a password for the computer. No
problem there! At the same time there was a check box
that stated something like, "do you want windows to
protect your folders and files?"
I mistakenly checked that box. This was only done on my
computer which is networked with three other computers on
a workgroup. NOW, no one can access the folders and files
on my computer. HOW DO I REVERSE the action?
I've tried deleting the password and setting it up again,
but the "do you want windows to protect your folders and
files" checkbox is no longer an option. The properties
sharing window for my folders and/or files has the "make
this folder (or file) private" checkbox checked, BUT that
option is now grayed out and I cannot "uncheck" the box.
HELP PLEASE and Thank you!
