Hello,

I want to make a folder private so that it won't be accessible from
the Guest account, but the 'Make this folder private' checkbox is
disabled in the Properties->Sharing tab. I'm trying to do this from
the Administrator account so I don't understand why the checkbox is
not enabled. I have xp Pro...
 
Make sure your drive is formatted NTFS. If it is FAT32 you can convert it.
After backing up important data open a CMD window and type

convert c: /FS:NTFS

where the c: is the actual drive letter you want to convert. If this is your
bootable drive it will require a reboot to do the conversion.

Thanks Joshua - it worked. But I panicked after the reboot because the
screen was black, and still black after a second reboot and I hadn't
backed up anything(:0). But I pressed some function key with a monitor
graphic on it and then everything was fine...pheeeew. Don't know what
that was about though.
 
Glad it turned out for you :)
