Hi all,
I'm trying to create a folder that only allows users to create or modify pst files but restricts them from reading such files.
Is there a way to achieve this in folder permission/security settings in Windows 2003?
If not, what other way can this be achieved.

Thanks

How will these users be able to "modify" a file if they can't read it?

by mrdotz

I'm hoping that they can overwrite using the write access or some special permission.
the goal is to create a special folder for backing up pst files using pfadmin utility.
I also want to prevent users from opening these pst files directly using outlook, hence the "read access' restriction.
I hope this sheds some light on the situation.

...and thanks for the response so far.
