Hi All. Is it possible to add passwords to folders in
Windows XP Home?

You cannot password protect individual folders in XP. You restrict access by
assigning permissions to drives, folders and files.

To do this, you must be running NTFS as your file system on the drive in
question. If your hard disk/partition is not NTFS you will need to convert
it. To do this, open a Command Prompt window and enter the following
command:

CONVERT X: /FS:NTFS

Where X: is the drive letter you wish to convert. You may also want to see
http://www.aumha.org/a/ntfscvt.htm to ensure that you're getting the optimal
conversion.

After this step is completed and you've rebooted the computer, if necessary:

XP PRO: In Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, View and uncheck
Use Simple File Sharing. Now, when you right click on a drive, folder or
file (on an NTFS partition) and select Properties, you'll see a Security
tab. Here you can assign or deny permissions based on user name or user
group membership.

XP Home: By default, you can only make files and folders under My Documents
"private". This is done by right clicking a folder or file and selecting
Properties, Sharing. To change the permissions on other folders, you need
to boot the computer to Safe Mode and log in on the built in Administrator
account. In this mode, you'll see the Security tab in Properties, and you
can assign permissions based on user name or group membership.

I am running WinXP Home sp1
I am the only one who uses this computer.
Any idea how I can run all the applications without a password?
For example, scheduled task wont run without a password, and XP restore
from a boot will not run without a password.

thanks....

I have a teenage daughter, and I want her to have her own
password, but I need to be able to acess her screen. Is
there a way for the administrator to override
passwords...like using their own? I bought XP
specifically because I thot that it would allow my
children to have their own files where they wouldn't
access each others, but where, as the parent I could
still have access to their screens. I would think that
any business would want the same features, but I can find
nothing about this. Does anyone have an answer for me?
Please email me at San_D_Eggo@msn.com

Hi,
You can pasword her account and still access her files from your account.
Just navigate to her files using windows explorer. Normally all her files
etc would be stored under C:\Documents and settings\<USERNAME>

I accidently set my xp computer up so now I need to log
on with a password. How do I get rid of this so I can
just start using my computer without having to enter a
password? Thanks anyone....J

Hi Jim,

1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok.

2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To
Use This Computer check box and then click OK.

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name
and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you start
your computer.

Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
