First Vanguard, it would appear that knowing what you are talking about is
not a prerequisite for you to post.
Second, you assume he decided to get winXP home. XP home is the standard pre
installed OS on most PCS purchased. Its not really an option to get pro
inmost cases, so quite chastising the OP for something that is out of their
control.
You don't have to reboot in safe mode to log on as the admin.
You can -
log on as the first account created. That definitely has admin rights.
If you want to have the original NT style windows logon screen with XP,
simply hold the Ctrl-Alt keys and press the delete key twice.
Type in username administrator and then the correct password.
To make a permanent change so the logon screen is always like the
traditional NT4/2000 style:
1.. Go to the Control Panel
2.. Open up User Accounts
3.. Click Change the way users log on and off
4.. Uncheck Use the Welcome screen
5.. Click on Apply Options
Now for the original problem.
To be honest, I never use the fluffy privacy items, I either edit the ACL's
directly or use EFS.
You can encrypt whole folders by right clickingthe folder, going to advanced
properties and choosing the encrypt option.
NOTE you can only encrypt or set Security on an NTFS drive.
