Re: windows xp security/previledge settings for different users

For XP Pro: In Windows Explorer go to Tools, Folder Options, View and uncheck Use Simple File Sharing

For XP Home: The security tab is only visible when booted into Safe Mode and logged in as an Administrator level user. You may need to use the built-in Administrator account.
