In my Win2k Professional. i have a set of users who are in USERS group. they have no permission to install any programs or write anything into c:\winnt. but i have certain programs where i run some batch files which updates certain .INI files in C:\winnt. win2k is not allowing me to do this in USERS login. i can't log off from users & login as Administrator each time i update this .INI file. because this continously happens. more over this is carried out at more than 15 systems.

is there a way where USERS group can get an instant access to C:\winnt ??

What exaxtly do you mean by instant acces. You want your users to have permamnent rights to for c:\winnt or only at the time of writing of .ini files?
This would help in getting your answer.

Hi,
The answer to yout problem is to alter the security on the ini files themselves, rather than the system directory. If you are running active directory you can do this by altering group policy, or just manually change the security - but the easiest way will be to use cacls (or preferably xcacls from the reskit - it's more powerful) and put the changes into a script.
