Hi all,

I am setting up a shared folder and I would like access restricted to just myself. I can set it up so that I have full rights but when anyone else tries to get into the folder they get 'Access Denied'.

I am often visiting other desks and sometimes need access to this folder so I would like it to ask for username/password instead of access denied.

Is this possible pls.

Thanks
John

ahh, of course. That makes sense.

A bit longer winded than I hoped but to be honest I won't need it that often so that is a very acceptable solution.

Thanks
John
