Dear All
I have an application which collects some data on a specific folder on drive C. The operator of this App must be a member of local admins (windows XP), the app will not run otherwise. I want to prevent the operator from modifying the contents of this folder and just let him write to this folder via app and make him unable to change the contents of the files, out of app's order. Have you ever experienced such a situation?

You can grant the user local admin rights, then I would go to the folder and make sure that only the local admin account has access to the folder. That should resolve your question you have. Please let me know if this helped you.

Thanks,

Erick

Dear Eric
Thanx for your kind attention. Though I don't know English well, I think I was unable to express the meaning. Actually, It is a paradoxical situation. I want to give the user the grant of writing to a folder, and not to see the contents of the folder or delete it or modify it. I solved the problem last night. I gave him the admin grant, But completely restrict him via Active Directory Group Policies. He can not reach any drive, so he can not access that folder.
