Hi, All:

I'm having trouble remembering the way to set permissions on a folder so all
can get to their respective subfolders and files, but no one can traverse
into others' subfolders and/or files. I'd like to do this without explicitly
adding each user with "full control" on a particular subfolder.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: folder permission question

Create a share called "Users" and give EVERYONE = FULL access. Turn off
inheritance. Edit their AD Profiles so their "Home" directory maps to
\\servername\users\%userprofile%. Depending on the drive letter you select
they will see

H:\Username and all their sub folders. every user has FULL permissions to
their own home folder.

Re: folder permission question

Correction. I believe the proper syntax is %username%
