Hello,
In Windows 2000, is there any way that a user can create
a private folder which is not accessible by other users
including Administrator. If I create a word file I can
give open-password for the file and nobody can access it
without password (they can delete but that is fine). I am
wondering if I can do the same kind of things for a
folder.
Thanks,
Jim.
 
If the drive is NTFS, you can set permissions, but anyone with local
administrator rights can take ownership.
 
Thanks Dave for the reply,
My computer is connected to the network and the user id
that I am using is a network Admin, but there are other
network admins in the network, I want to create a folder
and prevent others from accessing it. If I create this
folder in my PC in C drive, is there any way that other
admins can access it? If yes, how can I restrict that?
Thanks,
Jim.

Depends .... are you talking network access (shared drive) or local access?

Thanks,
My C drive on my computer is actually not shared, but the
other admins can easily log in to my computer with their
user id and share the drive if they want. Can I do
anything on my unshared C drive so that other users even
admins can not reach to that folder?
Thanks,
Jim.

A couple of ideas;

To remove administrative shares;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Set the Reg_Dword value of
"AutoShareWks"=0
If it doesn't exist, ADD it.

Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Local Security Policy\Security
Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment, then "Access this computer
from the network" Properties and remove as desired.
