I am managing a small network (10 Users) who all use the same apps. It is a
mixed environment - Win XP, win98 & win95. I have set up a security group
to use the necessary shared folders. I have created one user to use for all
the PCs. The owner of the network does not require alot of security. Will
this work?

I have a problem with the XP machines as they are not able to modify the
windows folder on their own local PC which an application which resides
there needs to be able to modify. Is there a way to give this user the
ability to write to their own Windows Folder?

Thanks
Matt
