Permissions/ Security
Is it better to use security to a folder or share a folder and use folder permissions? This folder is for the budget and only certain people need to see certain stuff.
I am wondering if I should share the folders and then just give permissions or should I not share the folders and set up security?

to access it across the network you will need to share it - so share it and then play with NTFS permissions on the folder itself

This is setup:
Budget

Folder 1

The budget folder is shared, the rest are not. The folders that are not shared have security on them.
Should I keep it like this or share out all the folders under Budget?
How should I inherit permissions?

that way looks good to me, put NTFS permissions on the sub folders
inherit as you see fit, you may not want to inherit anything depending on the security you want.....

I don't want anyone to see any other folder unless I give them rights. This is not working for me. I shared the top budget folder and gave "everyone" rights to all three full control change and read.
In the security tab I have administrators, creator owner with nothing, everyone with all rights except full, system with all rights, and users with read & execute, list folder contents and read. Every folder down the tree has the same security.
I am really lost here, this is not working. I simply want specfiic groups (ie Budget_Food.. to only see their budget spreadsheet for food).

Windows Server 2003 Access-based Enumeration makes visible only those files or folders that the user has the rights to access. When Access-based Enumeration is enabled, Windows will not display files or folders that the user does not have the rights to access. This download provides a GUI and a CLI that enables this feature.
