W2KPro Networking

Windows 2000 Professional Networking & Tech Support

SF State Information Technology Program -- Instructor: Lenny Bailes

Day 3 Agenda

1.    Sharing Files, Folders, and Printers [30 min]
        Review Exercise 7 in Labs document
       Examine Security Permissions on your shared folder that resides on the Desktop
        The W2K Pro security permission default is to grant "Everyone" full control of most folders.

However, when folders reside on the Desktop or under the user's My Documents folder, W2KPro does not automatically grant security permission access to "Everyone" even when you grant Share permission access to "Everyone." This default was the cause of some of the problems we experienced last week doing class exercises.  (Oddly, on my computer that was upgraded to W2K Pro from Windows 98, the system is not configured for this extra safeguard on the Desktop and on My Documents.)

Share Permissions vs. NTFS File Permissions
