I am trying to set up restricted permissions for a user
that is a member of domain users group on Windows 2000
(from the command line). D drive has read-only and a
folder on D has RW. I set this with xcacls d:\ /T /C /E /G
<user>:R. After this is applied, the user still seems to
be able to create new folders and modify files. How can he
do this if he only has read, read and execute, and list
folder contents?
