Unfortunately, networks are all different and active users that commute between offices, building, departments, home and corporate networks know very well…
- File Security Manager - full control over file and folder access permissions (even in Windows XP Home) — Being an overall excellent operating system, Windows XP does have some versions that limit user’s control capabilities to a bare minimum.

For instance, the Home version will not allow you to set file and folder access right, which is a common method…

- Remote Files Server - an affordable alternative to expensive and cumbersome file sharing systems — As your corporate or community network grows in size, you may eventually bring some order to it and get rid of hundreds of randomly named folders clogged with thousands of file with equally indecipherable names.
