Tweak: Windows XP Home Permissions

Have you ever wanted to change the user permissions of a file or folder within Windows XP Home? Most will say it's not possible without upgrading to Windows XP Professional. Wrong!

First, and easiest, way to go about this is to restart your computer in safe mode. That's it! Now the 'Security' tab will become visible within the file/folder properties window.

Second way to go about this, without restarting in safe mode, is to select the 'Start' menu, then 'Run'. In the box, type: shrpubw.

*If you want to see a full list of options, select 'Custom'.
