How to set owner and permission for a folder/file on Windo..

[RC]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

First, I still have problem to set a folder to be
private. It should be a VERY EAY task.
But when I right click the Property of a folder on D: drive
its "Make this private" check box is gray out.
So I can NOT make a folder be private in D: drive.

It seem to me the private folders are private
under "My Documents" in C: drive.

I read from Help, it says a drive MUST be NTFS

But I type

convert D: /fs:ntfs

It says my D drive already is NTFS format.
Since it already in NTFS, then why I can't
make it private?

Since I am system administrator at home for my
Windows XP. If I created new folders on D: drive
for my daughter and son.
I need to set the ownership, group and permission
for each user, make the folders be private.

How do I do these in step-by-step.
I am UNIX/LINUX system administrator.
It is a very easy task for me do
these in UNIX/LINUX, just type

mkdir folder_name # create a directory/folder
chown owner_name folder_name # set owner for a foler
chgrp group_name folder_name # set group for a folder
chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=r folder_name # set permission
# owner read/write/execute;
# group read/execute;
# others read only

or

chmod u+rwx,g+rx-w,o+r-wx folder_name


How do I do all these in Windows XP Home edition?
Thank Q very much in advance!
