If you're using NT, W2K or XP just set up the appropriate permissions with NT security

Start|Settings|Control Panel|Admin Tools etc

johnwm: Win2k pro help said :-
To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions
2.Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.

They noted : -
To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.
You can set file and folder permissions only on drives formatted to use NTFS.

What will needed to work on Fat32 or Fat16 ?

3rd party applications doing already! so any api or dll must be there arround!.

Is there a problem in using NTFS?

If you don't want to (or can't ) use NTFS, you may have to look at some heavyweight Hooking in Explorer - outside my field I'm afraid!
