Hi everybody
We are having a shared drive present on the
network which is on the server. Almost everybody has access
(connection) to the shared drive from their Desktops' so
that they can store large amounts of data onto it by
making their personal folders. The problem is everybody
else can easily access others' folders and its chaos! Is
there any mechanism in Windows so that ownership(password
protected) can be given to one's own folders/files by
which others cannot access those files without passwords'.

Thank you,

regards
uday

Set each user up with their own shared folder and deny access to everyone
but the owner of the folder.
