I'm about to reinstall XP on my principal computer and this time I'd like
to
try running as a Limited User instead of Admin.
I've set up my spare computer with a Limited account so I can experiment
'safely '.

I'd like to share folders on the local network , but the tab is greyed
out.
I BELIEVE I have to give permission , ( Local Security Policy ??) but I
can't find the correct setting.
Can anyone help ?


It depends which folders you wish to share. Folders that belong to an
individual account under the 'Documents and Settings' hierarchy cannot be
shared. However the Shared Documents folder can.
