We are upgrading the systems at the compaany I work for to windows 2000 clients with an NT 4.0 domain. We have had windows 95/98 clients so there has been no security but we have not had any problems with people deleting things on the network. Can you tell me a resource that tells about user rights and how to give them. What I am wanting to do is actually if the user is not logged in as administrator everything is hidden on the drives but it is really there if you login with admin rights. We do not need any big security but it would be nice just to hide the folders but programs still be able to access them........ Thanks I am just not up to speed on user rights..... Nick

If you create shares with a $-sign at the end of the share-name, they will not show in the network neighbourhood but you can access them from the run/address bar prompt. Off course you can protect all your files with NTFS security permissions AND/OR share permissions on your NT machines, even for your win9x clients, as long as your users log in with a domain username!
