| adding admin security for folder on limited access
on my home network i am running the users on a limited account. for my ibm thinkpad there is a battery monitor/handler on the taskbar. i need to run this program as admin in order to change the speed. i would normally right click as admin and add the user to the rights folder and give him permission as needed. at home on my workgroup i need to share a folder to make one private. how can i add this security so i can run this one program as admin and not everything else. thanks

I am a little confused about the question but I think you want the runas command and NTFS file permissions, you should have your answer ... |

Either you're using FAT32, which does not have any notion of file security, or else you're using the so-called 'Simple File Sharing' mode, which hides the notion of file security.
If XP Home, I believe you cannot disable simple file sharing. Or at least, there's no UI to do that. I have no idea what happens if you poke at the equivalent setting in the registry. |

In any Explorer window, go to the menu and choose Tools>Folder Options and then go to the View tab.
In that dialog, it is the last thing listed.

It's in the Folder Options menu, like Hot Rats said. And no, you don't have to be on a domain.

it looks like it finally took. The reason i am doing this is so i can allow non administrators to change the battery power settings on Ibm thinkpads. the test machine is my t41. i have set the folder
C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Utilities
to have the main users have admin privledges for that folder. i thought this would allow them to change what the speed of the pc is running at. i need to either find another program that allows the user to change the power settings as a limited user. I also am looking for a program that would allow me to manually set the speed of the processor. i have tried to run my pc at full 1600 mhz but on battery it is only 800 when i set the power program to full system performance. i can disable all power settings and get this to work but i would like to change it like i do now. |
