A Quick Question for the Technically Minded
Thanks for that info. The suggested OS is XP 'Home' because I've only two other PCs networked and the engineer chappies suggested it wasn't worth going with 'Pro'. However, I wonder in view of your comments, will it be difficult to ensure correct permissions (mind you, I'm administrator and user all in one with my system here)?
Thanks & regards.

Of course you can manually adjust access rights (as administrator). But e.g. your child groups will be different on both systems. So if you give access to childs on one system for a file, you have to repeat it on the other. And if you look at the creator of a file in explorers detail view, you will not see a name but a SID if the file had been created on the other system (exception administrator).
And if you normaly dont work as administrator you might find it tedious that switching the system you dont have access to a file you just created as the "same" user.
(Except if you had given all rights including changing rights before to everybody, so you can change as "everybody" the rights on the other system.)
Its possible to live with this but I wanted to warn, so you will not be surprised.

Setting the access rights and groups on dual boot computers is no different to setting them up on a home network.
If like me you have more than one computer in the house connected to each other either by network cables or via a wireless network, then you can set access permissions and they work across your network.
Yes the user name will have a different SID, but it is not as hard as you may think placing users into groups and giving individuals and groups permissions.
Take for example my Home Accounts. These are kept on a certain hard drive on my primary computer which has 3 hard drives. I have created a user group aptly named accounts and placed my wife and myself into that group.
No matter which Hard Drive I boot from (I also have removable hard drives and so in fact I can boot from more than the obvious 3 - in fact I have about 8 hard drives in a drawer) by recreating these users and the Accounts group on these other operating systems My wife and I can access the accounts program but no one else can.
Likewise over my Home Network, on my secondary computer - having again recreated the two users and the accounts group on the secondary computer I am again able to access the Home Accounts via my network - and again no one else can.
