Windows XP Home and Private Folders

Hello I have a computer on a network (Windows Home XP) where a user would like to share one of their folders and its a folder under their personal profile. However in Windows they have turned on the feature which makes all their folders private.

Therefore when the user tries to share a folder they cannot because they see the following message :

The options on this tab are disabled because this folder is in another folder that is private.

Can this be resolved by marking the folder as non private ? How can this be done ?

Thanks

Hello sorry for the confusion...

What i mean is that this is for a Windows XP Home computer, I only have Windows XP Pro here at the office and at home so cannot check how to switch off this feature and i do not have access to the clients machine and cannot find anything to help on the internet apart from turning the feature on. :)
