Hi Joseph B, :)

 Ths is part of a post I made on another site for some ladies that we inquiring about secutiy…about 6 months ago.

Ignore the noise and check out the links (if they are still there) for HOME security like PRO, or as far as you can take it.

...

Ouuuuu – This is like a detective case.

The cheats cheat and the liars lie.

Well M/S did call it backup, not restore.

Good grief. The “S” at work.

Pausing here. I am looking for the key to the NTFS doorway.
The exposing interfaces were removed, but I do not think M/S would pay programmers to mess up the main modules to delete code.

Aw Ha, I found it. Go to the very bottom and read about calc command.

OK, Xp Home can use passwords and it has a firewall.
Xp Home can use NTFS file system and
set security on ACL’s in safe mode with the cacl command.
>From Safe mode under the admin account the system policy can be changed.
The backup program needs to be installed separately and may need tweaking to work.
Install the recovery console from the CD (see windows help).
Xp Home can rebuild multi boot setups for gaming vs. stable system.

In conclusion, securities check off list. Ignore what it says HOME cannot do because some of it can be done.

Looks like I was wrong. Windows Xp Home is not so bad once you jump through the learning curve and set all the whistles, bells, and first time stuff.
Not bad for $89.

I am still going to verify the backup (and recovery) rumor.

Both can connect to the internet through the router with my cable connection and the XP Pro can See both computers. the XP home does not see the other and the XP pro cannot access shared files on the XP home. I read some of the answers but I do not see local security policy on the XP home computer to try to change the user rights. What can I do? Also I think what ever is happening is not allowing me to use application sharing on MSN messenger on the XP home computer but I can use it with a buddy on XP pro computer. if anyone has an answer on it I would appreciate that as well.
