Hi,
These days I have taken upon myself the daunting task of instructing my mother in the intricate art of using a computer.
My computer.
No, I don't think you understand.
My computer!
Scary, I know.
I am running Win2K SP II, on NTFS. I would like to crteate an extremely restricted user account, so that she cannot murder my system by mistake. And, I would like to be able to block her access to certain files (like, say, my wonderful, eh, art collection), or even to limit her access to a folder or a group of folders. My question is, how do I accomplish this? I mean, I know how to create all sorts of accounts. But how can I block access of certain users to certain files or folders, or to make certain files or folders accessible only to a particular user? And, to avoid embarrassment, I need it to work 100%.

Thanks,
Daniel.
