Is there anyway I can make my XP home edition work like a professional SP2
where each individual file can be controlled though the sharing and security
settings? Also, I know that in XP home edition. Accounts created can only be
limited or admin. Is there anyway to specify how limited is limited and have
more types and more varied security settings?

Thanks ((:

I believe you can use cacls.exe from a command-prompt in XP Home to control
individual permissions to files and folders.

Somewhat, but not entirely. It is impossible to turn off WinXP Home's
Simple File Sharing. It is possible to set some file and folder
permissions more explicitly, but only while in Safe Mode.

Not that I ever found, sorry.
