| 197937 | 2003-12-06 20:53:00 | You are using WinXP?? What sort of accounts did you create or already had, limited user or Admin? What sort of accounts do the other users have? How is your drive formatted - FAT32 or NTFS? How are you hiding these files - by using Sharing and Security? You are only trying to hide files that exist under your user profile directory? |

| 197938 | 2003-12-06 22:52:00 | yes Jen logon accounts that have administrator (and superuser) group membership can access and see ALL files on the pc regaurdless of who they belong to however a logon accounts that that have "limited" rights are restricted to what they can see and do on a XP system ie this group cannot see other peoples files or delete files from system areas as opposed to a administrator group membership which can. |

| 197939 | 2003-12-06 22:58:00 | Thanks beama, yes I know all that, but the point I was getting at does Compwiznot? Hence the grilling on the current setup. :) | Jen C (20) | ||
| 197940 | 2003-12-06 23:46:00 | I was going the ask similar questions as well Jan. But ya bet me to it ;). Am in the process of ready a book on NT4 server (boring I know but its nice to learn new things) by Mathew Strebe. And am getting a better understanding XPs makeup/origins with it. Interesting comment about applying fixpacks/hotfixs/update- wait 3 months after the fix is release to see if there are any probs. ;) |

| 197941 | 2003-12-07 00:59:00 | well i have windows XP and i have taken and admin acount, well my other account is the default account. u know the original one. i want to make my file invisible or unaccesable in the original account and accesible on mine ( the new one). i also dunno what type of an account the original one is. !!! | Compwiznot (4893) | ||
| 197942 | 2003-12-07 01:18:00 | still need to know you're file system-ntfs or fat32 you can apply more security options with ntfs using. Using fat32 on the hdd means files open for all local users to veiw/access. |
