XP system account settings and account corresponding permission settings (3)

Log in with an account with administrative privileges, open my computer in Windows XP, and then click on "Folder Options" under the "Tools" menu to open the "View" tab of the folder options. Here, cancel the selection of "Use simple file sharing (recommended)" (Figure 5).

After that, we assume that we want to accomplish the following goal: Create a "Temp" folder in the root directory of the C drive, and save a few files at will. We want Dad to be able to access this folder and its files, and can delete any file, but can not assign permissions to others; Mom can only view the contents of the file, can not modify or delete files; prohibit sisters from accessing this folder .

Right click on the Temp folder, select "Properties", open the folder properties dialog box, then open the "Security" tab, you will be able to see the interface of Figure 6. This shows the permission settings for several default security groups. Then we started to set permissions for the dad, click the "Add" button next to it, then enter the username of the Dad account, and press Enter, you can see that the user list has more than Dad's account. Add the mom and sister accounts to this list in the same way, and then start setting them up.

Because we allow dad to read and modify and delete files, select the dad's username in the above window, then select "In the Allow" checkbox below. Modify, Read & Run, List Folder Directory, Read, and Write (Figure 7). Note that here is not to simply allow the parent account to have Full Control permissions on the folder. Because full control means that in addition to being able to read and write to modify and delete the target folder, you can also assign permissions to other users, which is obviously not secure enough, so it is best not to assign the fully controlled permissions to others, especially restricted users.
