Permissions setting like Win2K

A

Adel

Hi;



Under Win2K I was able to set the permissions in a powerful way, e.g. in
network sharing path.

Under WinXP there is a very primitive way to change the permission. Is there
a way to set the permissions like in Win2K?!



Thanks you in advance

Hi Adel,

Which version of Windows XP are you using? <home or Professional>

In general, Windows XP Home Edition is quite limited regarding setting
file/folder/share permissions relative to Windows 2000. Windows XP
Professional is much closer to what you see in Windows 2000.
