After installing XP Home on primary Hard drive, I converted secondary hard drive (with lots of data on it) to NTFS. Now all the files that were on there before can not be dleted by the USERS, only Administrators - any way around this? DOn't wan to give the USERS ADMIN rights.
 
If you want other users to delete these files you will have to give them permission to write or modify the files. If they are widespread throughout your partition you may have to give them this permission for the whole partition.


In Home you have to set permissions while in Safe Mode.
 
linney - Thanks that was just what I needed! I did not know that safe mode was where you could access the security stuff on XP Home.
