This tutorial focuses on how you can gain access to other restricted users
folders in WinXP/2K.
OK as a restricted network user, you normally can't access other users
folders on the network. Well using even if Admin block out 'File and Printer
Sharing', you the user can still access another users folder and its
contents.

It is a fairly easy process that doesn't require you to have special
previlages. Basically, create a folder in your profile that you want others
to have access to. Then right click this folder and click 'Properties'. Now
up the top of this box click the 'Security Tab'. Here you can view the users
that can access that folder and the access rights they have to it.
Now click the 'Add' button and in the box that is displayed, type the
username of the person that you want to give access to that folder and click
'OK'. Now in the list of people who have access to that folder you will see
the user that you just added. Click their name and in the box below tick the
rights that you want them to have (Usually read/execute/List).

Now get the user who you added to create a shortcut to the folder you shared
eg '\\NetworkDRV\Users\YourUserName\FolderYourSharing' Now that the shortcut
has been created, the person can execute it and will now have access to the
folder your shared. This is great when someone has a game that you all want
to play.

You can also change the access rights of others, who by defalt have access
to that folder (EG staff). Now for some fun, if you can convince someone to
give you access to their folder, fool them into giving you 'Full Control'.
Once you have full control access the folder they shared and go to its
properties (eg once in the folder right click somewhere, not on a file and
go 'Properties'), then click the security tab, click on the users name
sharing the folder and change their access previledges so that they cant
access the folder.

Happy Sharing
