ok i think i understand what your trying to say. is  you are running mac osx and want to start running windows xp inside your mac osx account.\n\nif this is the case you can either buy virtual pc which is a windows emulator made by microsoft so it works just as poorly as normal windows will. \n\nor you can buy Microsoft office PRO for mac which is also made by microsoft for mac this includes virtual pc and all the office applications.

you have to create a new user account.  that folder is named after the login name in xp.  you may be able to modify your account name but I've never tried and not sure that would work.

The following instructions explain how to set up a shared folder on student-owned computers running Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional Edition. The shared folder can be made accessible to anyone using a Windows machine on the Wellesley network who has a user account and password on the computer that is sharing the folder. \n\nI. Configure your computer for file sharing \n\nYou will only need to configure your computer for file sharing once. If the option for file sharing is already set up on your computer or if you wish to set up another shared folder on your computer, continue to the instructions to II. Disable Administrative Shares to check that file sharing is correctly set up on your computer. \n\nGo to the Control Panel. \nIn Windows 2000, click on the Start button and then select Settings > Control Panel. \nIn Windows XP Pro, click on Start and then select the Control Panel. \nDouble-click on the Network Dial-Up Connections or the Network Connections icon. In Windows XP, if you do not see this icon, click on Switch to Classic View located on the left side of the window to see all Control Panel options. \nIn the new window that appears, right-click on the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties from the menu. \n\nNote: The content of the Local Area Connection Properties window is the same for both Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro.\n\nIn the Local Area Connection Properties window, check that the General tab is selected. Under the This connection uses the following items: or the Components checked are used by this connection section, check that File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is listed and make sure that its checkbox is checked. If it is listed, the computer is already configured for file sharing; click Cancel and skip to the next section - II. Disable administrative shares. If it is not listed, then: \nClick the Install button. \nClick once on Service to select that option. \nClick Add. \nClick once on File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks to select it and then click OK. \nClick Close. \nIf the computer asks to restart, click No. You will restart your computer in the next step. Proceed to II. Disable administrative shares. \nII. Disable Administrative shares\n\nBy default, administrative shares are automatically set up on Windows 2000 and XP Professional computers once file sharing is enabled. These are set up as "hidden" shares that share out your entire hard drive(s), your printers, and your Windows system folder, etc., and which can be accessed using the Administrator password. You may identify most of these shares by the $ sign at the end of the shared folder's name, for example: C$, ADMIN$, FAX$, PRINT$, NETLOGON. To keep your computer as secure as possible from viruses and other computer attacks, you should disable these administrative shares and make sure your Administrator account has a strong password. \n\nTo disable administrative shares, follow the instructions below: \n\nRight-click on the following link: StopAutoShares. \nSelect Save Target as. \nIn the Save As window, select the Desktop as the location to save the file and then click Save. \nOn the desktop, double-click on StopAutoShares.reg (may appear without the .reg). \nClick Yes to add this information to the registry and then click OK. \nRestart your computer by clicking on the Start button and choosing Shut Down. In the window that appears, either click on Restart or make sure the Restart is selected and then click OK. \nAfter the computer has restarted, log in with the same account and proceed to step III. Disable Simple File Sharing on Windows XP Pro. \nIII. Disable Simple File Sharing on Windows XP Pro\n\nIf you have Windows XP Pro, follow these instructions to enable password-protected file sharing. If Simple File Sharing is not disabled, shared folders will not be password-protected - this will allow any users and network viruses easy access into your computer. If you have already disabled t

you can do that.  I'm running virtual PC with windows xp pro in my Macintosh . it works well, you can download any .exe  software (i don't recommend it for games), just a little slower but worthy. if you are planing to use virtual PC ..  be sure you  have a lot of ram ( more than 1GB )\n\nps. if you have a mac and want to use virtual pc .. please get an antivirus. (just to prevent)  i never got ads or spyware

No. Apple wants to sell its operating system, so they've developed a way (a very classified way) of preventing people from wiping the system and installing Windows on their hardware. The only way to run Windows on a Mac is to use Virtual PC.\n\nOf course, the second I posted the above (which I read in this morning's San Diego Union-Tribune), I find a contradictory article stating the opposite. Truth is, Apple isn't going to make it easy to use Windows on their system; any more so that PC makers have made it easy to put OSX on PC machines.

With XP it is in the control panel under User Accounts, then click on the account (it will show a list of the accounts on the system even though in your case there is only one account) the reason the switch user option does not appear is because you are the only account on the system.  After clicking the account you will be able to change the account settings and password.

If you intend to use software like NORTON, make sure (on the package) its compatible with MAC/OS X. \n\nIf you would like to run windows applications on a MAC you cant, unless you use this new application from APPLE known as BOOT CAMP, which runs windows on a mac.\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/\n\nHope this helps!

There is no right answer for this question.  My personal preference is Windows because I grew up using it and we only use Windows based operating systems at my work.  \n\nI have touched an Apple computer now and then for fun, but I do not know how to use it, as strange as it sounds.  For example, I have no idea how to install/uninstall software.  I have no idea how to install hardware on a Mac.  I have no idea how to use or understand the applications that come with Apple computers.  What is iLife? iMovie? I only know iTunes since it's also in Windows.  \n\nI hope that one day the operating systems can coexist and dual boot on each other.  I know it's technically possibly right now to dual boot them both on PC's and the new Intel chips that Apple are using, but it's not something the average Joe can do right now.  plus there are hardware compatibilities with dual booting the two operating systems on each others respective computers.  \n\nWe'll wait and see!

there is no way. even as an administrator of the computer, the secondary users still have that information kept private from you. thats the joys of windows xp lol

There is no easy way to do it.\n\nThe only way I can think of would be to create a bootable network floppy disk to give you DOS access to the network, then you can map a drive to another PC and run the windows XP installation from there... Network install. It will work but you'll have to use a full version of XP.

If you don't want to install XP, then unfortunately there's now way you can run MS Flight Simulator on your Mac.  I would suggest you switch to X-Plane; it's a popular cross-platform flight simulator.\nhttp://www.x-plane.com/default.html\nhttp://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/xplane.html
