Of course, it gets a little confusing
when you realize that there are two different Permissions windows for any
given object (file, folder, printer, etc.).
Object permissions
Right-click any file, folder, drive, Registry key, or printer, select Properties,
and choose the Security tab to view or change the permissions for
the selected object(s). These settings affect how the object is accessed by
users on your machine (including you).
Share permissions
Right-click any file, folder, drive, or printer, select Properties, choose
the Sharing tab, click Advanced Sharing, and then click the Permissions
button to view or change the share permissions for the selected
object(s). These settings affect whether users on other PCs on your network
can read or write to your shared files or print to your shared printers.
Fortunately, all Permissions windows look and work the same; the only difference
is their scope. Figure 8-4 shows a typical Permissions window.
Typically, a single entry, ???Everyone,??? will appear at the top of the list. In the
example in Figure 8-4, only five single users are shown here. Any user not in
the list will not be allowed to view or modify the object.
Permissions protect files from other user accounts only. If you
walk away from your PC while you??™re logged in, for example,
someone else sitting down at your keyboard will have full
access to all your files, regardless of permissions or even
encryption. This is why??”when your PC is in a public place,
anyway??”it??™s a good idea to use the ???On resume, display
logon screen??? option in the Screen Saver Settings window.
