Directory rights in Windows XP

I have 30 new laptops on a wireless network, connected to
a Novell server. Some of the software I need to run on
these laptops need to have special right for the
directories they run from. All users login into the
Windows XP workstation as the same user ID. I could make
this user part of the administrator group with the same
rights as administrator. I do not want this user to have
the same rights as administrator. Is there a way to set
user right for directories in Windows XP?

Yes, in Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, View and uncheck Use
Simple File Sharing. Then you'll see the usual Security tab when you look
at a file's or folder's properties.
