XP Home folder security
 

Can someone with XP home confirm this for me?

http://www.tweakxp.com/tweak298.aspx

"To enable "Advanced" security permissions in XP Home simply boot into
safe mode, rt-click any file or folder, and now you will have the
"Security" tab - just as in XP Pro! Simply make your changes and reboot
into normal mode. This is very useful when you have 'limited' users on
your computer and they are unable to run certain applications as a
limited user - you can simply boot into safe mode, change the
permissions according to each user, and reboot! The advanced tab is even
there that will give you even more permission options such as
inheritance, etc."

limited for what I would use it for, but still, handy if it works.

Yep, it works. XP Home stand alone computer, one user no login password etc.
You can allow or deny as per usual on the security tab. Created a folder,
then denied access to everyone, rebooted and sure enough .... it told me to
bugger off.

This could be fun if you did that to the Windows folder eh LOL (runs
off to try it)

Bugger, turning off access to the windows folder doesnt stop the machine
from working :-( Ya just can't open the folder.
