Sorry to repost but I got no help from the other newsgroups!

Hi - working with XP Home on a local net at home - NTFS installed. I have a
folder on the XP that is marked "Private" and "Read Only"....I can not find
any way to remove those. The folder was shared until recently - I THINK it
may have happened after installing the new NET updates but that is not a
certaintly. It has all worked well for over a year but suddenly that folder
has been made private and I can't access it from my other networked
machines.

The 'Share' tab is there and the checkboxes have a checkmark but they are
greyed out...........can't find anything that will restore them. Other users
(Default and All) shared OK but this account (the Admin account) will not
share.

I see no option to "Enable Simple File Sharing" in my Control
Panel/Folders - no "Advanced" tab at all - is that the problem ??
