XP Home - Simple File Sharing Question

[Dick Sutton]

If I choose to have 'My Documents' folder made private (either thru account
creation or the Sharing & Security context menu), how can I revert back to
the 'un private' level?

In other words, I have chosen 'Level 1' security (remember I have XP Home),
then decide I want to undo this and revert to 'Level 2' security. My
'Sharing and Security' context menu shows the box checked but it is grayed
out so that I can't un-check it.

Any ideas?

See "How to Set, View, Change, or Remove File and Folder Permissions"

Thanks for the links. I wish Microsoft would put all the 'permissions' info
in one place.
Thanks again...
