Running SBS 2000 in a Windows Native Mode AD Domain. Have
2 Domain Controllers and 4 File Servers. All Windows 2000
Server Standard.

Would like to know if there is a way to set up a network
share on one of the file servers to always prompt for user
name and password when trying to access this.

We have several applications and drivers stored on this
share that we do not want regular users to access, but
would like to be able to go to their desktop, go to the
share while still logged on as that user (Some of the
applications do not work correctly unless you install it
with them logged on) and have it ask for the user name and
password.

Anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks,
Nathaniel
