I have a lab with many applications installed. I need to
implement security, ie, prevent users from saving and
changing files to \winnt, c:\,... everywhere but their
profile and \myfiles. The NTFS perms are Admin owner/full
and SYSTEM full. Apps such as Mozilla and Netscape (and
some others) need write access to \winnt, dos programs
write to their folder and c:\. Newer apps do better with
user read-only.

Is there a way to keep the user from writing to these
folders and give the apps write access at the same time?

thanks in advance
