File sharing isn't working

[sherbir]

I am using Window XP.

I have 5 partitions in my HDDs C:\, D:, E: F: and G: all FAT32.

Now I have a folder say abc in F:\

I also have 3 users on my computer.

How can I restrict the access of this folder to 2 out of those 3 users ?

The Security tab is not visible in the sharing dialog box when I right-click on this folder abc. Rather I get a Sharing tab.

Also, the "Make this folder private" checkbox is disabled and I cannot figure out how to enable it.

The Simple File Sharing is being used.

Any clues ?

Please Help

If you have XP Home Edition, you have to boot into Safe Mode to access the features you need.

To boot into Safe Mode, repeatedly press the F8 button during the boot process. If you hit it at exactly the right time (on fast computers, the window of opportunity is quite brief) you will get a boot menu. Choose Safe Mode.

Once in Safe Mode in your account, make the security changes you want, then reboot.
