I'm sorry. I'm not talking about shared folders. These are
the users own created folders. The user has ownership.
However he does not have the ability to manipulate his own
files beyond create and delete. He cannot right click and
get properties. Explorer comes up with an Explorer error,
not an access violation error.
Personally I feel that for two users doing the same thing
on the same stand-alone machine, who just want
personalized desktops, it is not worth it to set up a
multitude of user groups that I'll have to micro-manage
permissions on mp3 players for. Complete and full access
to the machine for all users is the priority in this
situation.
