security settings xp pro

[eblaster]

Hi,

Running xp pro.

My son (username son) has configured his "folder" to be private. I am
referring to the folder C:\Documents and Settings\son

How can I configure things so that at least I can also access and modify the
contentsa of this folder?

Thanks
Phil

Of course, your son will immediately know that you've done this,
the next time he tries to access "his" files, and can no longer do so.
Think of it as a sort of "check & balance" on the otherwise unfettered
power of an administrator.

There are no true technical replacements for parental supervision
and open communications between parent and child.
