More info?)
well the link and program i provide gives u access to the security panel in
properties, but you cannot specify anyone other than users on that machine,
everyone & various internal things (system, etc).
it's a question i've been trying to address for a long time, but have never
found a satisfactory answer and don't really want to open the machine to
'everyone'. i think you might need PRO to do this. thanks
