Summary

Synopsis

This article discusses how to set permissions on folders created with Express. You can set permissions to lock users or allow every user on the machine to use folders created with the setup. Express uses the Lock Permissions table in the background to set folder permissions. Because permissions require an NTFS partition, you will be able to set Permissions for folders created only on XP machines.
