I manage(?) a mixed, peer to peer, Win98SE and WinXP Pro network with 16 PCs on it. We run a 2Mbit line into an admin PC (XPPro) and internet share to all others. The line in connects to the admin PC via a router (USB port). This admin PC connects to a hub via CAT5 cable.
A network hub connects all PCs together via CAT5 cabling. There are three admin PCs in total and thirteen training PCs. The training PCs are for online training, some of them Win98SE op systems, some XP Pro op systems, some with Office 2k, some Office XP. Most training is via Internet Explorer with Macromedia flash and authoware plugins installed.
My question is how the **** do I protect files and folders on the admin PCs from prying eyes? Not only are prying eyes a problem but also accidental deletions. When it was all Win98SE it was fine, I simply password protected certain folders. Now, with XP Pro, I can’t seem to sort it out.
Any help appreciated.
