| 409953 | 2005-12-04 08:25:00 | Unticking simple file sharing in My computer / tools / folder options might work. Then right mouse on the folder / program / security tab. The hdd may have to be formatted in NTFS as well, and u may need XP Pro (Or I think u can go into safe mode, with XP Home, or something), to get the security tab. |

| 409954 | 2005-12-04 08:42:00 | Hi Speedy What I mean is we have installed Nero and Officexp and a number of others on his account(administrator) So, on his mates account you can also use those and he would like to restrict that?! Does that make sense?! Gion |

| 409955 | 2005-12-04 09:31:00 | What you want to do is not possible if you have XP Home without a 3rd party app Having said that, I have accomplished it after a fashion but if the user is savvy enough he will get round it if he wants to. But if you are using XP Pro, the easiest way to securely limit individual user access to program files (and the drive must be formatted with NTFS) is to create a share and a User Group then remove the User Group from access permission and put this user who is to be denied access, into that User Group. |

| 409958 | 2005-12-05 12:15:00 | Create two groups: "auth" "unauth" Stick the user accounts that you want to have full access in "auth" and those you dont want to have access in "unauth" Now go to the executable files and play around with the permissions, assigning the group "auth" to have full r/w/x permissions to XYZ and removing access to all other users/groups. You might even want to put a "deny" in permissions for the "unauth" group on certain things. |

| 409960 | 2005-12-05 21:16:00 | Gion, Try this: Open up My Computer --> C: --> Windows --> System32 Now find and right-click on Notepad.exe Copy it Go Up a few directories to your C: Drive Right-click on some whitespace and paste the file Now right-click on that file and choose Properties Click on the Security tab Click on "Add" Type in the username of the users you dont want to have access to the file and click Okay Click on the Advanced Button and then select the username again from the list and choose Edit You can now decide if the user can edit permission, execute the file, read it, write to it... play around and see how you get on :-) Otherwise there's an app called Folder Guard which basically does all this except its way more powerful with additional functionality and ease-of-use winability.com |

| 409961 | 2005-12-06 17:35:00 | Hi Chilling Thanks for all that. I had a look at the Folderguard and it looks very good to me. Also at some stage I will try the option you described. Regards Gion :) :) |
