Why is it that with Win XP Home, all files & folders are shared between accounts?? I can't password protect folders (can I?), and I can't limit folder accesses with the other user accounts being set up as an administrator (can't set the other accounts as anything less, or you can't do frig all under that account). Is there any way I can privatize things a bit without switching to XP Pro???

All of the things you are asking about are features of NTFS. They are not
available when using FAT32.
