XP system account settings and account corresponding permission settings (2)

After starting the computer, the desktop will not appear immediately, but a welcome screen similar to Figure 3 appears. On the welcome screen, each user can click on their account name and enter a password (if needed) to log into Windows. Each user can see the exact same initial desktop settings after logging in with their own account, and any changes they make on this desktop (such as adding or removing a desktop shortcut, or changing the wallpaper) will only take effect for themselves. Will not affect others.

At the same time, they can save their private documents to the "My Documents" folder and set them to private. Here's how: Log in to the system with your own account, then right-click on the "My Documents" folder, select Properties, then open the "Share" tab and check "Make this folder private" (Figure 4 ), so that others can't access the folder that is set to private. In addition to not being able to view files saved by others in My Documents, they cannot delete any files and folders outside of their My Documents folder. In addition, these users can also set a password for their account, so you must enter the correct password when you choose to log in with your own account, otherwise the login will be rejected.

Note that setting the folder to private is only available when simple file sharing is enabled. After you disable simple file sharing, you can only set access permissions for this folder in the traditional way. The specific method will be described in detail later. In addition, not all folders can be set to be dedicated, only the folder in the user profile (that is, the "My Documents" folder by default) can be set to private, you can not choose "Make this folder private" option: http://support.microsoft.com/? Kbid=307286. At the same time, the use of the NTFS file system on the system disk is also a major premise that the folder can be set to be dedicated.

If you are using Windows 2000, or if you want to implement more complex permissions settings under Windows XP Professional, you can continue to read the following.

Note: The following content is suitable for Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003 operating system. It is not suitable for Windows XP Home. It also requires the file system of the hard disk to be NTFS.

We will still use Windows XP Professional as an example, because after the simple file sharing of Windows XP is disabled, the other settings are not much different from Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003.
