XP Pro - Making folders private
8 Answers
When I try to make a folder private, I right-click, click 'sharing and security' but the 'Make this folder private' box is greyed out, how do I enable it? I've tried reloading xp thinking there was a 'custom load' option but no luck.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.this is a guess but could it be that there are only system administrators with logins for the system? To test this out add a limited user account using the add new user option via the control panel. If the box becomes active then thats the answer. I don't know if you can make files private from system administrators.
As stated, you have no security features with FAT32. You can, however, convert your FAT32 partition to a NTFS one using the convert command: Start-programs-accessories-command prompt type: convert C: /fs:ntfs [/v] It will ask you to reboot then it will do the file conversion. Once you have an NTFS file system you will be able to privatise your folder as well as use file/folder encryption
