How to use privacy settings on Facebook?

[BK]

My friend showed me that they can edit custom settings under Facebook's privacy settings menu and enter some friends' names under "except these people". But when I go into my account's menu, there's no link to edit custom settings. I can only choose "customize" in each drop down menu and select "everyone," "friends of friends", or "only friends" and "networks". I can't input specific friends. Any idea why?

Step 1
Login to your Facebook account and hover your mouse over the "Settings" button in the header bar on the right side of the screen. Choose "Privacy Settings."
Step 2
Choose the top option "Profile" and come to the Basic page. Go through this list one by one and consider who you want access to your personal information, your wall posts and much more. Be sure to click "Save Changes" when you're done here.
Step 3
Now toggle over to "Contact Information" and adjust your preferences for your cell phone, your email addresses and your street address.
Step 4
Return to the main Privacy page and look at your settings for the other categories including: Search, News Feed and Wall, and Applications.
