RE: [PCTECH] Where is the Security setup inXPfolderoptionscomparedtoNT/W2K ?

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

That's what I was afraid of John. I tell you what, about EVERYTHING I
normally do in W2K that I have tried to do in XP Home has been a hassle. I
mean in W2K if you want to add something to automatically startup all you do
is click on Start/Settings/Task & Start Menu/Advanced/Add. There is NOTHING
like this in XP Home. We have one other XP Pro PC here and it is in there
just fine. What normally takes me 30 minutes to setup is going on almost 2
days now. Unreal. 

I was trying to delete icons on the "user" Desktop and it said I couldn't as
the user. So I switch over and make the user Administrator and STILL can't
do it. So on a whim I delete them from the my account that I setup on this
PC as an Administrator and wallah - they are gone when I switch over to the
User. Of course this can be good and bad. Before the Desktop was unique by
account... Unreal again...

Thanks for you help though !

Chuck

Chuck:

I don't think this is so much of an XP issue, but rather an XP Home
Edition limitation. The home edition is dumbed down quite a bit. I use
XP Pro on my machines, and I've yet to find something that I could do in
W2K that I can't in XP.

Note that XP-Home can't be connected to a domain, so you may want to
upgrade it before trying to use it in your corporate network.
