Yeah, Control Panel was what I meant. I've got a shortcut to the Folder Options in my Control Panel, but you can also access it in a menu of Windows Explorer. The second tab in the folder options should give you a bunch of advanced settings, each one has a checkmark to enable or disable it. In XP there's a setting "Use Simple File Sharing" or something like it, which when switched off gives you an extra tab under properties of each file, with the whole security settings. These security settings are in fact the real way Windows XP manages file access and ownership, but by default they use a simpler scheme that works like previous Windows versions, where you can only share a folder or make it private. So disable that "Use Simple File Sharing" setting and you should be able to add an ownership to the files in question. Heheh. The problem is that I used to have an english installation of XP, but right now it's dutch so I have to translate things like "Configuratiescherm" in "Control Panel".
