Modify an object's ACL and you can restrict or allow access to that object by users or groups of users. However, ACLs don't work on any other file system than an NTFS volume -- and when copying a file or a folder to another NTFS volume, the ACLs don't travel with the file by default. >> CLICK for the full tip... http://www.searchWin2000.com/tip/1,289483,sid1_gci876658,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= PATHPING BATCH FILE | by Matt Young When having trouble with a user's ability to connect to a hosted application, getting them to run pathping and checking the results can be frustrating.

I have done two so far and have run into the same problem on both. They have MS Office 2000 installed with the latest service packs. After I upgraded them to Win2000, I rebooted and logged on as a user. I got the following Office error: "This application must be installed to run. Please run setup from the location where you originally installed the application." If I log as administrator, everything runs fine. What has happened, and is there a quick and easy fix? >> CLICK here for Honeycutt's expert answer... http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid1_cid510745_tax293054,00.html For more expert advice, sign up to receive SearchWin2000.com's "Tips from our experts" biweekly newsletter.

Sometimes an admin or user will delete a folder that has an active file share on it and ignore the warning that Windows provides when this is done. Not only does this log an error, but under some conditions the share itself isn't removed, and will continue to throw an error whenever the system is restarted. The easiest way to keep this from happening is to: a. Remove the share from the Shared Folders section of Comp Mgmt b. Trace the missing share via your error logs and delete it c. Remove the share from the registry d. Both a. and c. e.
