Re: Global application settings for restricted users

Hi Dennis,

I also think using the NTFS's access control list to protect your
application's global configuration files is the proper approach. And as for
how to manipulate the NTFS permissions for file system, we can use the
buildin interfaces in the windows installer( can use in our install
project) or using script to manipulate the NTFS permissions. Here are some
certain reference on the related infos:

Hope helps. Thanks,
