Win2K Security
Is it possible to add password protection to files on the server itself, and not allow other accounts to access such files. NOT on a public drive by the way. Can I achieve this by using the NTFS partition format? I was told it was possible.

Say I have some secure documents in c:\docs. Is there a way to right click it and set it up so only an admin can access that directory?
Any help would be great! My employer needs to know this asap.

Yes, you can. Try it. I am assuming that the hosting server and all workstations are in the same workgroup/domain. You can also explicitly deny access to people and groups just as easily as you can grant access to whatever files and folders you like.
This is how you share a folder (I generally set mine to "everyone" and let NTFS do all the work):

And here is a break down of setting up NTFS permissions (simplistic overview, but it works):

I was hoping I could! So even if the restricted user is on the server itself, as long as he is on a restricted account I can set what he can see and use and what he can't?!
I tell you, I have visited a lot of forums and this one always has me coming back. You guys are fast and know what your talking about. I appreciate your effort!
