Enabling Linux style file control in XP

No doubt many of you have dreamt of the user level file control present in Linux/POSIX type systems. Make no mistakes, XP has got the same feature too. But perhaps, its a little underpublished.

Here's how :

1. Open an explorer window.
2. Click on View
3. Click on Folder Options
4. Click on the view tab.
5. Scroll down below and uncheck "Use Simple File Sharing(Recommended)".

and voila, you got a per user controllable XP. To add permissions on whom to use and all, right click the concerned file and click on security.
Here, you can control permissions, set and deny access and permissions.

Nice, ain't it?

And finally, a note of warning. It is found that this feature is best available on a drive running NTFS.
