When viewing a folder in Details view, you can add other columns of
information - one of which is file Owner (as distinguished from author,
which you point out is easily changed.) Would this be helpful?

(I don't have a system available with multiple people's files available to
me till Tuesday, so I can't verify this.)

we are running a W2k server AD network with XP sp1
desktops.  We have, on occcations disconected network
drives and disabled email for short tests.  But we have
some tests that go over serveral days (1.5 hours per day
for three days etc) and we have found a couple of students
who swapped files between classes.  we then tried getting
the students to save all work in a folder and between
classes, changing the permissions on the folders.  The
problem with this is that the IT Teachers do not have
enough knowledge to enable them to change the properties
themselves and as I am the only Tech, I do not have the
time to do it for them.  This problem is mainly with Word
2002 and VB6, which are the programs used on the extended
tests.
we have cought some, as the Author in the properties box
showed the other students details, but they now haw to
change those details.
I was hoping that there was a way of opening the files
with diferent software which would reveal details of which
users made and worked on the files.
