I am at it again, on a new machine.
100% new hardware.
new xp+sp2 pro

two accounts: admin and nobody
admin is normal install admin.
nobody is group USERs only.( no other groups assigned)

I have this working on another system but this one is a fight.

On my other system if I login as nobody (users) I can not access the
other persons
profiles and I can not open the windows folder.
On this system I can edit anything, ( delete, rename, etc)

I can see that I am USERS because I can not access most things in the
control panel ,as is normal.
But the system folders are wide open unprotected.

Any clue as to where to look? Local , group profile manager looks ok.

Print and file sharing is off, fire wall Sp2 is fully active and
default.

Thanks for any help.

My goal is to protect folders from other users and to protect the
windows folders from all by admin.
