Not necessarily. It is much more locked down than W2K which gave the everyone group
too many permissions to the root folder. If you do not want regular users to add
folders and files to the root folder/subfolders then just give them read/list/execute
permissions. Keep in mind they still can write folder/files to their user profile -
my documents, etc. If you want to further lock down the computer/users look into
using Software Restriction Policies in XP Pro. --- Steve
