I've used Win 2k pro until recently. There I liked the way I could set up custom rights for various users and create customize my guest accounts that way. I can't find that option in Win XP pro. Is it possible? How do I do it?

Thanks!

Right click on 'My Computer' > manage > local users and groups

One difference (if you're looking to set NTFS permissions for different users) is that "simple file sharing" might be turned on by default...to undo this, go to Control Panel-->Folder Options-->View and uncheck that option. Other than this, Win2k and XPPro should have basically the same ways of customizing users...is there something in particular that seems to be missing?

Awesome. I could never have figured that out on my own. Simple file sharing was enables. Now it aint no more!
