Using Windows XP Home, I deleted an old user folder (JAMES), and created a new one reassigning myself as the administrator. Upon deleting, I clicked on 'Keep Files', expecting a shortcut to be available on my new desktop. There is no shortcut. If I click on Explore, then the old User file (JAMES) I get the following error message: "C:\Documents and Settings\JAMES is not accessible. Access is Denied."If I right click the folder, and click on 'Sharing and Security', it tells me to drag the folder to the .Shared Documents' folder. I cannot do this, as I get an error message: "Cannot create or replace JAMES: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use."In addition, any changes I make to the Properties tab (un-click 'read only', click 'Share this folder') do not get saved after I click on 'Apply'. I cannot find any other Securities tab other than th 'Sharing' tab available on XP Home edition. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've already spent 6 hours trying to solve this problem. Any support page I've read has not been able to solve this problem. It seems that Windows XP Home does not have the same securities options as XP Office, Vista, etc.1 person got this answerI do too

In XP Home you must go into Safe Mode to see the Security tab.
