You'll also want to leave Administrator/Administrators and System intact.
I am using NTFS on both of my internal drives...I do have an external one which I have to leave as FAT32, so I can transfer it between other computers not running XP. But I've had the same problems before adding that one.

I have tried being the only account and adding a guest account, but nothing changes. I also formatted, debugged, cleanly formatted with NTFS, and reinstalled and I have the same lack of options.

I'm now to the point of trying add-in software, but I haven't found any that would allow an "on" mode for my username and an "off" mode for anyone else. Anyone know of any good software that would allow me to keep folders open, run programs from protected folders in the background, but forbid other users access to those folders? (this seems entirely possible, since "my hahahahahahahahas" allows this)
