User Accounts!

[Steve]

In Control Panel I am able to set up and adjust User
accounts fine, though from the login or welcome screen,
if any profile other than mine is clicked on a message
says that the profile cannot be loaded, check network
settings etc. Why is it doing this? I have noticed it is
not creating a new folder/user in the 'documents and
settings' folder on C:

Also, when the user feature was working and we made use
of it before we were unable to make individual users
folders private from limited account users. The checkbox
to 'make folder private' is always greyed out whatever I
try.

Thanks.

Hi Steve,

Check your settings here: Right click the My Computer desktop
icon/Properties/Computer Name/Change/Member of.

To Set the My Documents Folder to Private

On the Start menu, right-click My Documents, and then click Properties.
Click the Sharing tab, and then click to select the Make this folder private
so that only I have access to it check box. Click Apply, and then click OK .

Note: You cannot make your folders private if your drive is not formatted
as NTFS.

Home Edition: Set Permissions for Shared Files and Folders. Boot into safe
mode and logon to the 'Administrator' account. Right click the folder in
question/Sharing and Security/Make Folder Private.

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
