Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



once you converted to ntfs, while in adminstrator account
go into explorer folder tools->option,
click on view,
scroll to the bottom, uncheck "Use simple file sharing":
click apply, click apply to all folders, click ok

I beleive you don't need partion magic to convert from fat32 to ntfs.
lathough PM may give you control over cluster size.

if you use onvert don't use the
"/nosecurity" switch and the fiel system will stop everyone see everything

Converts FAT volumes to NTFS.

CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS [/V] [/CvtArea:filename] [/NoSecurity] [/X]

volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
mount point, or volume name.
/FS:NTFS Specifies that the volume is to be converted to NTFS.
/V Specifies that Convert should be run in verbose mode.
/CvtArea:filename
Specifies a contiguous file in the root directory to be
the place holder for NTFS system files.
/NoSecurity Specifies the converted files and directories security
settings to be accessible by everyone.
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary.
All opened handles to the volume would then be invalid.

Running WindowsXP Pro on FAT 32
During setup, I mistakenly set it up so that all users can see each others
documents (My Documents).
Is there anyway to changes this so that only the person that is logged on
can see there's only?
System is set up with 4-users.
Thanks
