Re: Folder Access Restriction

Malke
I found out that I am using NTFS system.
On the foler right click ->properties->sharing>(check on the box)do not
share this folder
This did not worked.
Now are you suggesting that I click on the box in the second line titled as
'Share this folder' .....> permissions
In the Share Permissions Dialog Box, I can see the Group or user name =
Everyone. I do have 'Guest' user in addition to my own user 'Shrikant'. Both
are not listed in this box.
Below this box is Permissions for Everyone :
Full Control
Change
Read
Can I check the box 'Deny' to all of these options for Everyone ? Will it
then include my user account 'Shrikant' also in this Everyone ?
At present the check boxes against Full Control and Change is kept empty by
default and the check box against Read is ticked for Allow. This seems to be
default.
Are you suggesting that I create some dummy users and deny them all the
permissions ?

I do not know what file system I am using ... NTFS or FAT32. I am using
Windoes XP Professional. I understand that NTFS is better system. How to
install it ?

Again, you set permissions by:

1. Creating user accounts and allowing only desired users to access
resources.

2. In XP Pro, you can set fine-grained permissions. This KB article covers
it quite well:

How to configure file sharing in Windows XP (includes information about
permissions)

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040

You can set some users to have no access to certain folders with this
method.

3. Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management to
see if you are using the NTFS file system. If not and you wish to convert:
