That fact is noted in the KB article.

"Note You must be logged on to the computer with an account that has
administrative credentials. If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition, you must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the Security tab."

Unfortunately, that approach doesn't work properly with XP Home UNLESS you
boot in Safe Mode. That's the only way to get all the options for sharing
in
Home.

So, boot the Home install in Safe Mode and follow the instructions.

I have a huge problem. I had Windows XP Home installed. I wanted to
upgrade
to Windows XP MCE, which I had a CD for, so I put it in and chose to
upgrade.
It began to install. However, every time it got to 27 minutes left in the
installation, the installation hung.

I decided to install MCE seperately. Now I have Windows XP MCE installed
as
well as XP Home. The computer boots to XP MCE. I can see the folder for
my
XP
Home account in C:/Documents and Settings, but I can't open it because it
says access is denied. I can't figure out how to get the files from the
old
operating system to the new one.
Any suggestions?
