Re: File Share permission / read-only attribute

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I come from NetWare, too, and...was dismayed at the paltry and convoluted
SHARE/NTFS system Windows uses, especially in that Folders weren't
automatically hidden, like in NetWare.

We bought Cloak, from ScriptLogic, and, that works better than the
enumeration that Win2K3w/SP1 gives you, and, hides folders users cannot get
into.

For everything else, we allow either Everyone or "Domain Users" or
"Authenticated Users" FULL SHARE rights, then, given them either Read-Only
or everything except FULL NTFS Rights on the actual Folders themselves.
