I have computers A & B on a network in my home. My wife mostly uses A while
B is my laptop. From B I map to a folder on A which contains our music
library. I want to be able to edit file names and ID tags while I want only
to grant read access to my wife so that she doesn't accidently erase our
library! So while mapping I use my user account on computer A which is an
administative account and therefor has full access. Then I've set NTFS
permissions so that she has read only access while administrators of course
have full access. In sharing permissions it's the same.
Still - she can edit the files and I can only stop that by adding deny
permissions to the folder?!! I would have thought that she had no access
until allowed - could it be that WinXP grants her write access "by
default"??
