Re: display user rights on local and remote machine

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Mark, i read the "Using Authorization in Visual Basic" the section on
'Qualifying Access with Business Logic in Visual Basic' or 'Establising a
Client Context in Visual Basic' seems to be what you are suggesting to verify
the user's rights. but it seem to only look at a XML file i created.

i does not seem to get to what i'm looking for in my second goal. the means
into which see what the user rights are for a given domain user or group. i'm
needing to verify that a domain account has read, write .. rights on a folder
and file similar to that found when using the "security" tab when you right
mouse, select properties, and select security tab.

am i miss reading the MSDN section you mention?
