Can u lock out a folder in WIN 2000
- Thread starter angel106

In order for your application to be able to access a folder but disallow access to unauthorised users, two things need to happen:
1) Your application will have to run as a service or via a batch file using Runas with a different user account to the currently logged on person.
This is in order for it to have different security permissions to the current user to permit access to the folder.
2) The folder itself will have to have NTFS permissions set on it to only allow access to the account used by RunAs or the service.
