How do I make folders public again?

[Steph]

I'm using XP Home, had created different profiles for
family members and then made a folder in the Owner
directory private. Now I deleted all profiles to run from
a single account but can't make the Owner directory
public again (the check box to make the folder private is
checked and grey out so I can't uncheck it). I also see
the message that "the options on this tabs are disabled
because the folder is another folder that is private".
Yet when I check every single parent folder none of them
are private. How do I get out of this?? Help!!
