Windows Forum / Windows XP / Security and Administration / July 2004Can't see a users folder(s) from the MyComputer window.
Hello everyone. I have just installed Windows XP Pro and having a little problem. I have 5 users, including myself, on one machine. I am the only Administrator and the rest are simple "Limited User" accounts. My problem is that when in my Admin account and using "MyComputer" window, I can "see" folders for all the "Limited User" accounts except for one. I'm not sure why this is happening. Any ideas? I'm thinking i may need to delete this account and start over with it. I'd like to avoid this if possible, however. Jorge 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.
