| | Help restrict access to folders to non-administrators Hello, I have the following problem: I am admiministrator on the computer under Win Vista Ultimate. Now, I would like to restrict acces for several folders on the D:\ drive for non-administrators. I use the "security" tab. The problem is that if I "deny all" for "MyPC/Users", then I lose the access for me too.... (I can restrict users separately indicating them in the list, but if I add a new nonadministrator on the computer I must readd them manually for all restricted folders. I would like to restrict all the non-admins, but ONLY non-admins. I tryed also to create a separated group "non-administrators" where I add all the people that is not admins manually... but I don't like this idea... it should be a simplest way to do it under Vista. Any help will be greatly appreciated. PS. I wonder if I can restrict using Internet for several users under Vista. Is this possible? |

You don't mention number of workstations, etc. You might be better with Server 2003, where you can set eveything up in the Active Directory; Global Groups, Local Groups, the lot! -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Sergiu DUDNIC" wrote: Quote: > Hello, > > I have the following problem: > I am admiministrator on the computer under Win Vista Ultimate. > > Now, I would like to restrict acces for several folders on the D:\ drive for > non-administrators. > > I use the "security" tab.

| | Re: Help restrict access to folders to non-administrators Hello Sergiu, As you already said, create a group, add all user accounts to it and configure the security on the folder. That's the way it works since years, has nothing to do with Vista. Even in Server OS it will be handled the same.

| | Re: Help restrict access to folders to non-administrators It is best never to use "deny" permissions. Deny always overrides Allow. This can have unexpected consequences as you have found out. You should decide who needs access, create a group for them, give them access, and remove other groups and users. Don't remove the system accounts like System, Trusted Installer, or Administrators. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ "Sergiu DUDNIC" <sdudnic@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uxUVcuQfIHA.968@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello, > > I have the following problem: > I am admiministrator on the computer under Win Vista Ultimate. > > Now, I would like to restrict acces for several folders on the D:\ drive > for non-administrators. > > I use the "security" tab.
