Re: Hidding folder?



A domain administrator is just that, an administrator. Anything in the
domain that you have is accessible to an administrator. You can take
permissions away from them but the administrator can take ownership of it
and provide them permissions to it. If you have a database that manages its
own security (Such as SQL Server 2005) you can prevent others from gaining
access to the data contained within it.

So the main point of your question is, no you can't hide files and folders
from administrators. They can see the folder and if they act properly then
they should stay out of it, but I don't know your work environment.

Hi, how are you doing?

I would like to know if is possible to creating a folder on Windows NTFS
partition, but this folder will be hidden from all users, including
administrators, system, and all top users, excepts to a user account wich
I will create wich will have total access to folder, so when I log on the
machine using the special user, the folder will be available, because I
need to put some database files so to prevent users viewing, editing, and
avoiding trouble to me, I think this can be a solution.

Is it possible to be done?

Can you shed some light?

Thanks
