I have a small network with Win2003 set as a workgroup server (not AD) with
client PCs that are W2K or XP Pro. There are only 2 logins (besides
admin): staff & Ted (the boss).

Ted wants a private directory on the server, so I created one with full
access for only Ted (& admin). From his PC, he can see the folder & open
the files, but they are read-only and no files can be deleted.

On the server, the user with access is listed as Servername/Ted while his
login to his PC, of course, is Computername/Ted.

With a workgroup, how can I give Computername/Ted full access to the server
share while denying it to others???
