I needed to know is there some way to get around the windows XP security kind of -blam!- that doesnt let you go into certain -blam!- or download stuff when you are on a limited account, all i really need to do is go into a folder of another user and copy some stuff. or a way to make me an administative acount from here. and help is good

Or, just make the folder public to everyone. [/quote] Not with XP.... They have Built-in Shared folders for sharing between users on the same system. What you are describing is only for sharing accross a network.[/quote] I was refering to the idea of 'folder sharing'. It came from Unix and evovled into something known as AFS. AFS is actually a MASSIVE folder sharing network. The process to which Microsoft shares it's folders and the details are different, obviously, I was just referring to the idea of folder sharing in general. The 'built-in' shared folder's permission can even be altered. I, in fact, do it because I dislike network creeps thinking there's something in it. Just right click, select the sharing tab, and your options. There you go. It still uses the methods you and I proposed to solve though ;) [Edited on 6/9/2004 9:38:46 AM]
