Windows XP Home - Shared Folders

My computer works with Windows XP Home. Until now i was totally satisfied with this system. The problem i came through is that if i want to share an folder in our home-network the folder is accessible to any pc in the network.
So i added ntfs-file-permission for only one user. But what happens is following: nobody, inclusive the added user, can't access the folder. Why does this happen? After hours of searching the google and especially the google-groups i came to the reason.
Every lan-access to an XP-Home-PC will tanslated as guest-request by the system implicitly. So the access to the ntfs protected folder have to fail and will fail.
Next time i will buy the professional edition...;-)

Yeah, the professional edition is much better, with this edition you will not have those problems.

the home version is just a stripped down version. I would never buy it. Anyone that has any kind of network should stick to pro.

You can use <code>code that should be highlightned</code> to highlight code!
Optionally you can use the attribut language="php|perl|java" within the code tag, otherwise
actionscript-highlightning will be used.
