Hi! I have a question on file sharing. I have currently
shared out one folder located on a Windows 2000 computer.
I have given full control to Administrators while giving
only read access to Everyone. Is there a way that I can
restrict everyone from browsing the folder or copying the
files inside this folder?
 
Within the W2K operating system, you can not restrict a user who has read
access from copying a file to a place where they have write access. If they
should not see the content of the files or folder then do not give them any
permisions to the folder. Create a group that should have access to that
folder. Add the appropriate users to that group and then give that group
whatever permissions you want and remove the everyone group. -- Steve
