Utility wanted to allow all of TheBat!'s features to be used by non-administrators using Windows XP Home

As I have said before, non-administrator XP Home accounts cannot add
to TheBat!'s dictionaries or train BayesIt to reject spam.

I posted the following on TBUDL, but I think it might be useful to
post it here too.

I installed FaJo XP File Security Extension v0.9 (XP FSE) yesterday.
The file and folder Security tabs appeared. The security settings
could be altered _on_the_tabs_. I rebooted my system.

It was as though I had not checked the tabs' boxes at all. I looked at
the security tabs, and the checks were still in the boxes.

Then I looked at the Further Information at the bottom of FaJo XP
FSE's page
http://www.fajo.de/portal/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=6&Itemid=

The first Information listed "How to set, view, change or remove file
and folder permissions in Windows XP"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en;308418 has a
Reference 307874 "How to disable simplified sharing and set
permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307874 includes a statement saying
that simple file sharing is the default setting of Windows XP.
Document 307874 also contains this: "Note You cannot turn off simple
file sharing in Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition." Does anyone know a
way to get around that, without upgrading XP HOme to XP Pro?

This may be a clue. When I installed "Nero Burning ROM" on my previous
(now defunct) W2k system and again when I installed "Nero Burning ROM"
on my new Windows XP Home system, a message from Nero advised me to
download, install and run a utility called "Nero Burn Rights
Installer," so all of my user accounts can use "Nero Burning ROM." The
utility worked. Nero used a utility to make it work. If someone can
figure out how, perhaps everyone can do it using a similar utility.
