Is there a way in Windows XP or Windows 2000 server to restrict access
to a shared folder by time schedule? For example read/write Mon-Sun
0700-1600, then read-only Thur 1600 -0800 Friday?

Thanks.
 
You could try doing a Scheduled Task or using the AT command to change
permissions on the share by schedule. Probably the easiest way would be to
change the NTFS permissions to the shared folder using the built in cacls
command. NTFS permissions would apply to all users that access the computer
while share permissions affect only network users. There may be a Resource
Kit tool that can change share permissions form the command line also. If
you are not familiar with cacls or other command line utilities to change
NTFS permissions be sure to try them on a test folder first with the
different options that can either replace existing permissions or edit
existing permissions. --- Steve
