Several basic/newbie security questions. Flip/flopping from admin. to
user on my win2k pro. has generated some questions:
1. What is the difference between an interactive user vs. authenticated
user vs. just user ?
2. I see that the admin and user share and seem to have equal rights to
the same recycle bin - can this be changed?
3. It seems like a user has full access and use of the "DOS" command
prompt just like the admin. This gets complicated for me fast...if the
admin logsoff and a user immediately logs on is memory cleared? Eg.
could the user use DOS debug to cause mischief ? IS there a way to limit
what a user can do at the command line? W/ntfs an admin. say cmd.exe is
not accessible or eg. just debug.exe is a no go? Should I care?
4. Related ques. I know user can not install programs, but there's a
family of DOS type programs that one can just cut/paste of to system and
they run w/no install - are this a threat?
Thanks, Lee
