Q: I have a program installed that receives data over the network, but it only works when Im in the admin account . It gives an error when I use a limited account. Is there a way to give read / write access to limited accounts? In that respect, there is a way to give access to limited accounts to only certain programs?
Re:What program is it? (yes, there IS an echo in here
)Re:In Pro you disable 'Simple File Sharing' in the Folder Options dialogue box from the Tools menu in Explorer. From there you can right click on a file/folder and choose Sharing and Security (or Properties). Then switch to the security tab and modify the access rights with much finer control. You can give a specific user just read access, full control, read/write/modify.. And so on.
File permissions/security is very limited in XP Home. Not so in XP Pro.
Re:yeah, it's Home. I'm going to upgrade it to Pro, but in Pro how do you do it?

In XP you can only give Admin or Limited rights… I don't see how to do anything else.. all or nothing.
that is just plain wrong, unless you are talking about XP Home, which I do not have much experience with, and in which case should not be used on a network anyway
Re:What error do you get exactly? What program is it? What files is it having trouble getting to?

Re:if it is Windows, AD, and NTFS, figure out what directory it is reading/writing from and give that account the correct security rights
Re:Check out this (http://{$MySite}/messageview.aspx?catid=33&threadid=1678743&enterthread=y) thread in the wrong forum. Or is it?
What program? What's the error exactly?
