User Accounts Advise please

[Guest]

I am using a stand alone computer (not on a network domain).
I have Windows XP Pro installed and my Hard drive is formatted as a FAT32
Partition.
My own account is set up as an "Administrator Account"
I have created 4 other "Limited" accounts.
There are folders I want to share with ONE of the other limited accounts,
but I find that when I put them in the "Shared folder" the folders are
AVAILABLE in all the other Limited accounts.
Question.
How can I be selective about the sharing of my folders.

Hi,

You need to use permissions-based access, and for that you also need to use
the NTFS file system rather than FAT32.

Converting the file system:
