RE: Folder level Security

["Greg Morgan" <Cybie () infinite-elements com>]

Honestly, I can't think of any OS that can do this.
While it's fairly easy to make a folder read-only, there's no way to prevent
copying files from the read-only folder to a local PC and the user making
changes to that local copy.

I have a windows2k network and am trying to lock down a folder in such a
way that users can view the files only. They should not be allowed to
copy the files onto their desktop and make changes. Just View.

Right now I have it all set up, but cannot find a way to disable the
moving of files from the folder to their personal computers. Is this
possible with W2k?
