account on my computer. I want to be able to block access to certian
files and folders without blocking access to the internet. They have
to have access to the internet. Have tied changing permissins on
folders but cannot block anyone from changing the permissins, doing
what they want in the folder and resetting permissons back.
The easiest way is to create separate user accounts and set permissions
and/or restrictions with Group Policy (if you have XP Pro). Only one
person (you) should have an account with administrative privileges (not
counting the built-in Administrator account, which should have a strong
password).
If there is some strange reason that you cannot create different user
accounts, then you can put restricted files in a zipped archive and
password-protect the zip file.
If you want more focused help, please post back with the version of XP
that you are running, if it is on a domain or workgroup, and why you
can't create separate user accounts. Also, are you the systems
administrator or just a regular employee who wants privacy on a
corporate computer? If you are the latter, there is no privacy on a
corporate computer and you should keep all personal files at home. This
may also be an issue for your Human Resources and IT Depts.
