file sharing permissions in widnows 2003 domain
Hello all,
Our setup is Windows 2003 domain. On one of our servers we have some shared folders. I would like to allow our users to only view the contents of the folders, and not have the ability to open the files. This will allow us (as admins) to start keeping track of how often this data is used.
I was able to accomplish this in a workgroup by going under the Security tab of a folder and uncheck all but "List Folder Contents" checkboxes for the particular user/group. It seems that from my testing the file sharing permissions are set under the Sharing tab and not the Security tab.
Is there a way to only allow users to list contents of a specific folder in a windows 2003 domain?

Thanx, I had everything but the "Full Control" setting in sharing, which is why (I'm assuming) it wasn't working.
Even though we don't want to give our users READ access, I can mess with the permissions in under the security tab to give us appropriate privileges. Thanks so much for you help.

yeah, that's the problem then. You always want to assign the everyone group under the "sharing" tab to full control and then you control who gets what access via the "security" tab :) It is just so much easier to control and audit that way.
Anytime, glad I could help and thanks for the grade!
