For machines running Windows XP Home edition, you will not be able to use the notes above to view the file permissions within your Windows Explorer file browser. Microsoft has decided that users running the Home edition of XP should not be allowed to, or will never want to, see these permission settings. But, since you are reading this document, you most likely DO want to exercise your right to view and/or change those permission settings. Even though Microsoft has deliberately dumbed down XP Home so that "XP Home Edition-based computers always have Simple File Sharing enabled", there still are ways in which you can work with file permission settings.
