I have a windows 2000 network, and I need to allow some users to be able to execute a program on a shared folder (network drive). The problem is, I need to stop them from being able to copy the file/program from the server.
any ideas?

Although the files exist on your server , they are actually being executed by the remote computers CPU and memory. This implies that the executable is being "copied" to the remote computers memory. There is no wayto distinguish between being copied to memory and being copied to hard disk (as far as permissions are concerned). Likewise with a simple file (only being read). When a Windows application opens a file from a remote location, a temporary copy of the files is created on the remote computer.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
File permissions (deny copy)
any ideas?
