I am running windows xp home edition with sp2. I use a shared computer with
someone else and we use the same login. Windows automatically logs me in at
the welcome screen, like 98 did. I was wondering how to block a folder using
access control lists. I know that it will also block it from me if we are
using same user name. I also wanted to say that I can't get my security tab
to show up, even after looking in folder options in the control panel like
microsoft site told me. It said to unclick simple sharing window or
something. Hopefully someone understands my question and can help me, thanks.

As I understand it, this is not possible under XP Home Edition.
Try to restart the machine in Safe mode (hit F8) and see if access to
folder's security tab becomes available.

There are too many subtle differences between XP Home Edition and Pro that
may only surface when one digs deeper (such as what you have experienced).

Do let us know if this helps. Thanks!
