Restricting Access..... NOT!

[Mudassar]

I have windows 2000 Workstation. Many users use this computer and I want each of them to have their own private folders where only that person can ACCESS/READ/CHANGE/WHATEVER to it. But there isn't such function!! I can't even block a specific folder! The only time when you can block something is when networking and using the Share function.

Win2k does not have the power I expected. Or maybe I just havn't figured it out? anybody know? [sig][/sig]

didnt you already post this? anyways if you did, my reply was that workstations arnt as restricted as the Win2k Server or Advanced Server edition.

you may have to look into some 3rd party program. [sig]<p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.com>kb244@kb244.com</a><br><a href=

Herd of NFTS? It's some type of drive converter. But it is supposed to enable permissions. I am not sure though. so I am not going to do it until I find out. (it may have some bad points) [sig][/sig]

you mean NTFS, NT File System, the Partition type for all NT systems up til Win2k (which supports FAT32) not a drive convertor, but a file system itself.

Mudassar I'm sure he is using NTFS, since he is even able to least set certain permisions, just not the one he wants. [sig]<p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.com>kb244@kb244.com</a><br><a href=

I just converted to NTFS and boy it's HOT!! when right clicking on a folder, a new tab is added called Security. I just adjust all the settings there. Take a look!

Under Windows NT/2000 each user will have their own profile. This profile holds personal info such as Internet Favorites, Desktop Icons, and PERSONAL DOCUMENTS. The default permissions on each of these profiles are to let the user have full permission, administrators have full permision, and the system (the actual OS) to full permision. As no other users are in this security list, they will not have access to this users profile. The only way they oould get in (ok, not the only, but the most obvious) is if they are in the Administrators group.

Good Luck!
