Hi

In Home Edition you cannot create user groups, I have searched
for registry hacks with no luck.

So it´s just to wait, a workaround will be available or that
MS make a revision build directly.

It might be other trouble then SID which gives this fault within
home edition.

Nevertheless this is really bad, it seems that noone tested Defendern
with a localised version....... "MS software quality insurance" ;)

Click to expand...

Maybe the following commands do work on Windows XP Home Ed.:
1. (Start -> Run...) net localgroup Users /add
2. Install WindowsDefender.msi.
3. (Start -> Run...) net localgroup Users /delete

This workaround has been tested on Windows XP Professional.
