File sharing issue
Hello
With a young boy (with his own user) now using my computer, I want to make sure that he does not delete any files. I have attempted to utilize file sharing so that he can only read (but not modify/delete) files. However, when I go into his user account, he is able to access the files through explorer and delete them. Am I doing something wrong? The folders that I have designated for sharing also now show up as a network resource. When you view the files from his user through the network the file sharing permissions work. What gives? Thank you for any feedback.

File sharing issue
Thank you for your response. I think I solved the problem. On our PC the
data drive had permissions for Authenticated Users. Apparently, this overrides the permissions granted to any specific users. I deleted the Authenticated User and then added each of the users in our house (me, my wife and my son). I restricted the permissions for my son and that seemed to solve the problem. I no longer have mess with shares since we are not on a network. John "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: You may want to create a group policy to hide the drives.
