Hi,
You would have to set permissions to do that. In an WinXP Home system you
can use cacls from the command prompt, or restart in Safe mode where you can
access the security tab. You cannot do it otherwise. The option to make a
folder private will only exist when the folder is under your user account
(located in C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>).
HOW TO: Set, View, Change, or Remove File and Folder Permissions in Windows
XP
