Permissions

[Brian]

Anyone have a good ref. on setting groups, user accounts, permissions,
access levels ect ect in Win XP HOME? I'm lost. Volume formatted to NTFS. I
can access the ADMIN account from safe boot (not readily accessible like XP
Pro I guess). The way it is presenting to me is very confusing.
