Hints and Tips

Lock Those Files

By default, Windows NT gives full access to anyone who can log on to your computer. But if you're using NTFS, you can prevent other people from accessing files and folders that you created yourself--and if you're logged on as the administrator, you don't even need to be their creator. Right-click the file or folder that you want to set access privileges for and choose Properties. Click the Security tab and then click Permissions. To remove a user, select a name and click Remove. To add groups of users (for example, by department), click Add and select from the list provided.
