| 171119 | 2003-08-28 03:16:00 | Wondering about setting up permissions on a local folder using Windows XP pro either a) each user cannot access without it being their own folder or b) password protection on each individual folder. At the moment all users are administrators, I'm under the assumption that if you're admin, you can see everything, is there any way to give a user all the priviliges of having an admin account whilst having the local folder security mentioned above? Any help greatly appreciated like always Ambasluv Webmaster@Bren and Jon (www.brenandjon.50g.com) |

However it is better and safe to restrict admistrator level access to trusted (i.e. skilled) users, so as to minimise disruptions to critical system files. You may wish to make them power users as opposed to administrators. I have done this at home and it improves security. |
