You mean like sharing, but security. An unknown user trying to access a secured folder on a network will either be asked for a username or password or access denied error. I'm not sure which, but I don't think they have any rights except the Guest rights.
OP
No I'm talking about securities on the drive that is using NTFS. i.e. if I have multiple users setup on my computer and only give specific access to me and no one else is defined and the Everyone security is gone will the other users have rights or is it assumed that if they aren't listed they don't have rights?
Not list=no access.
OP
That's what I figured but I was just making sure. Thanks DosFreak
Unless of course you are a local admin.
yeah if the username is not known. They do not get access... Simple as that.
Just dont use admin account, someone might have the same password as you.
hehe I doubt it.
