What I meant above is that, if any 1 of the 3 possibilities is true on a server,
a person accessing that server from a client will have access to the server.
Now, you can have additional details which would prevent access to all areas of
the server, but barring those details, the server will provide access. NTFS
permissions are a lot of fun.

Thanks for the explanation, Chuck, I do appreciate your help. And I have been reading all the links :-) and bookmarking them too.

The puzzle is that all the computers have the same Joe account, and all the computers can access the share on 2 using it, except 1 -- which suddenly could when Joe was given full control. This is what I can't understand. Surely if there were something wrong with permissions for the Joe account on the server (2), it would have affected all the clients? From what I've read I had thought only the settings on the server account mattered, but can it possibly be something in the local Joe account on computer 1 that is the problem?
