Switching users has some
drawbacks. If the new user shuts down the computer after
they're through, you will lose any work you haven't
saved. For this reason, it is a good idea to save any
work before you log off.
Additionally, leaving multiple user sessions open
consumes memory and processing power, which will slow
down the computer. |

One of the major advantages
of the NTFS file system that is designed for Windows XP
is that, unlike the older FAT file system, you can set
permissions at the file level in addition to the folder
level. This means, for instance, that you can choose to
make a shared folder accessible to everyone with read
and change permission, expert one file in the
shared folder that is read only. File level permissions
can be accessed in the Security tab of the shared file's
Properties dialog box. Be careful, however: file level
permissions can complicate things considerably. If
possible, use the folder level permissions instead. |
