applications from doing it as well, since the application
runs with the user's credentials. You may want to
restrict access to all but certain folders, for specific
users. You must be running NTFS for your file system to
do this. In Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, View
and uncheck Use simple file sharing (XP Pro only). Now
you can right click a folder and select Sharing and
Security and allow/restrict access to the
folder/drive/etc.
