I'm kind of frustrated that I have to post 3 times a
question that is being described in detail and I'm
getting answers that show they are not reading my
question in full. I need to know how to deny access to a
folder in NTFS for a given user. Please read my posts
below and see that none of the answers given apply or
have been tried with no solution. I appreciate any help
but in order to be helpful I need somebody that takes the
time to read the post and question.

Thanks

View tab in Folder Options and you will then have
a Security tab in the properties of NTFS folders.[/quote]

[b]This does not work as I have stated below![/b]
