hi all,

i need help with folder permissions under xp...i have read the online help and the F1 help available and can't get it to work...i even spent some 5 hours experimenting with folder permissions to no avail

i need to be able to set a folder's permissions so that an administrator has full access but users cannot see the contents of that folder...that is easy and i can do

the problem is this...i need in addition to the above, for a program inside that folder to be able to be run at startup, to read and write files inside that folder

i just can't get it to do all that i need

i also looked at using a folder under c:\windows and the permissions are no good for what i want either

anyone know how i can do that?

thanks in advance

serge

What OS are you trying to do this on.

I use the "run as" feature... check this link out:

Hope that helps...

bbelcher,

am looking at Windows XP

hooligan,

thanks for that, will check it out...my program needs to run at Windows startup, can you use the RUN AS that way?
