Sharing the root drive is not forbidden although I
understand it is not recomended. In this instance,
between these two users, security is not an issue only
from out-side the workgroup is there a risk. And, from
the fat32 system am I trying to access the drv-c root on
the ntfs partition. Also the 'go and bye ' are an example
of passwords. Is there any reason in the default settings
of local security policy I would not be able to access
the the drv-c on the ntfs partition from the fat32
partition? After one takes the 'everyone' group from the
access list, simply putting the user of ws2 on ws1 and
giving them full control should give them access? yes or
no?
sincerely, AMD. mcse ccna
