I just reinstalled windows xp a few days ago, and I have one folder I need to get into that is locked to any users (except admins) because I lost all the old accounts. I was wondering if anyone knows how to turn on individual security settings off the top of their heads. I have been having a brain fart and can't seam to remember.

you mean make a user an administrator? control panel > users > change account settings or whatever. although thats prolly not what you mean :-\

i think u need to go to the control panel and make your account administrator

Control Panel>User Accounts>Change an Account>select the account you want to change>select the little dot that says "Administrator" instead of "Limited"

good luck!

Nope... I'm trying to enable single file security so that I can set up files to be accessable to only one user or a group of users. I have a file I need to delete but I don't want to log into an admin account.

I just remembered how to do it. Go to the folder Options->View and uncheck simple file sharing.
