Hi mate

i can make one part of my application as windows service only that part that
does not allow the user to access folder.
what about if i protect that folder with the password,any related help to
that.

Administrator can easily elevate its privilege level to that of a
LocalSystem account.
Please check the NG - on 2 occasions I presented the code that does the
above.

Therefore, your task is just infeasible -it is impossible to protect
access to your file in such
way that Admin cannot find this or that workaround......

Thanks for reply

The your Application must run behalf its own user. If the Application is an
interactive one you may impersonate Threads while accessing the FS, a server
application can run be started from the Application User.

But: The Application User is also under the control of the Administrator.
Even if the Administrator don't know the password, he may change it to get
access.

Hello!

what my aim is that Anobody could not Delete the files from
respective Folder even the administrator,

You can deny Access to the Folder even for Administrators. But:
Administrators can always take the ownership of Files / Folders and grand
himself the nessersary Permissions again.

only that is done through
my application
