Have you gone onto that account and looked at the folders in question? I just did it,(of course I did not set these folders to be private when these accounts were created), and I was not able to get into the folder through the admin account, but I was able to go back to the account with the private folder and there was the option to unprivatize the folder. It is at the top of the dialog box under Local Sharing and Security. I am using XP Home. You cannot make your folders private if your drive is not formatted as NTFS. Jim

Don't have that on the Sharing tab. Will that appear only if a folder has previously been made private? -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
