I know that we do this exact thing with terminated employees' user folders - we move them to a new folder that only has the local administrators group granted full control, nothing else, and grant the supervisor access to the user folder, and send them a link. It works for us. Is the shortcut directly to the subfolder? Can you try with a link to the full path? Are there any spaces in the folder name or path?

Joe Heaton Employment Training Panel From: James Winzenz [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 9:21 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Folder access question Are you setting up the permissions exclusively using NTFS permissions, or are you using share permissions as well on the shared folder? Share permissions and NTFS permissions can conflict with each other, with the most restrictive winning out. Are you denying the user access to the shared folder, or just ensuring he/she does not have permissions? With no permissions defined on the parent, but only on the child, this should work, as the user is allowed to traverse a directory they do not have access to in order to access a child directory via a link.

So how can I do this?
