Change file system to NTFS then reboot to Safe Mode:

Yes, I am aware of that hack route.
Not only is it not supported by MS, IMO it is risky=20 since that download is ancient and the NTFS security=20 permissions engine had a history of ACL corruption=20 in NT 4 when that was first released. For these reasons I do not mention/recommend it. --=20 Roger=20 "Tomothy Quntington-Flitoris" = wrote in message = 48.16...

Iain,
Points taken, and thanks for confirming that you thus far=20 have not encountered problems. So far no one has said=20 that they have had issues. The ACL corruption issue most=20 often happened when there was an explicit Deny on the=20 object, which may be something that is not often done. =20 I have nothing against and understand the convenience you=20 find in this. But due to the questionable legality, potential=20 for ACL corruption, etc. I avoid mention, leaving it to others. --=20 Roger=20 "Tomothy Quntington-Flitoris" = wrote in message = 8.16...

Accepted on all counts. I seem to recall we discussed this before very briefly on here. In case it is of any help to anyone, I have set some explicit deny permissions, both on whole drive volumes and also certain folders and files that I don't want monkeyed around with - nothing untoward has occurred but I would certainly say that my setup isn't the most rigorous of testing environments. For that reason, I agree that anything I say on the subject should be taken with extreme caution, and not used on a production system - since whatever works for me may very well not work well for someone else. -- Iain McLaren ********************************* A.

Even to the present day there are some things, such=20 as the Front Page Server Extensions, which will misorder=20 ACLs under circumstances (where there are deny ACEs and inherited ACEs), which has allowed me to see that=20 the ACL editor does still handle the problem gracefully=20 (at least in that case). =20 So, if there is a lesson from this it would be to try to have=20 the most recent version of the bits rather than the install=20 from the original Service Pack 4 release. --=20 Roger |

Security Tab in XP Home
Since it is annoying to always boot to save mode or use cacls I developed a
context menu extension wich brings up the security dialog on XP Home too (in normal mode). To install the extension administrator rights are required. Page (gernam only): http://www.fajo.de/de/sware/xpfse/ Direct download link: http://www.fajo.de/sware/files/xpfse...1_Setup_EN.exe Usage implies that NTFS is used ;o) Regards Falk John "Rio" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
