Would it be possible for multiple users to read every file in a folder, but only write the ones that they create? I'm using windows 2000 server, and i haven't found a way yet. Thanks in advance.
Yes you can, there are 2 ways to do it. Using NTFS permissons, the most restrictive wins. So you can either drop the existing files into another folder and give them only read access to the sub folder and write access to the root folder. Or you can apply the permissions at the individual file level.
Hey, same person, on my friends account. Thanks for the help, your post was exactly what I needed. What i used your first method, and added an extra piece to make it easier. I set up a scheduled task to run a batch file every 5 minutes that moves all files in the writable folder into the read only folder. Thanks much for the help.
