Help me please

I made a folder in documents and settings a private folder and now I would
like to make it a public folder. How do I undo the privacy option of that
folder. I am the only admin acct. on the computer but the checkbox that
makes the folder private is greyed out.

To view the Security tab for a file or folder in XP, hold down the Ctrl key
while right-clicking the file or folder, and select Properties. If you are
in a domain instead of a workgroup, this approach is unnecessary.

You Cannot Select the "Make This Folder Private" Option
