Here is my situation.
I have a file server with Windows 2000 Server on it. My first question is within setting permissions on the shared network folders. First you can set security setting on the folder and then on the share itself. If I have Domain Users added to the security tab with everything but full control, but I want specific users to have full control, can I just add them to the share or do they need to be added to the security portion of the it. The users with full control are memeber of the "Domain User" group. I am just a little confused on the difference between the security settings vs. the shared permissions.
Also, I have a mixed envirornment of W2K Pro machines and Windows XP Pro and when a user with XP installed does properties on a network folder, it shows up as read-only, but a user running W2K Pro, it doesn't. Don't understand the reasoning behind this.
In addition, we have a few users who edit HTML document using Word, and when they go to the HTML document on the Intranet and click the "Edit with Word" button from the tool bar in IE, it opens up the document as read-only. This wasn't always this way. The user could open and save the changes directly and they would be updated without having to do a saveas. The HTML documents are located in a shared directory on the network.
If anyone has any insight on how I can resolve these problems I would greatly appreciate it.
