CREATE AN ADDITIONAL SHARE NAME FOR A FOLDER

solve the problem?

Sandra has the effective NTFS permissions necessary to open and save the file. The Sales

group has the Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permissions. The Sales Manag-

ers group has these permissions plus the Modify and Write permissions. To determine effective

NTFS permissions, combine permissions from all sources.

For shared folder permissions, both the Sales and Sales Managers groups have only the Read

permission. Because you choose the most restrictive permission when combining NTFS and

shared folder permissions, Sandra ends up being able to read—but not change—files in the

Brochures folder. To solve this problem, you should select the Change check box in the Allow

column of the Permissions for Sales Managers list (see Figure 9-12).

Why This Chapter Matters

This chapter introduces data storage management on different types of volumes.

You will learn about the different types of disk devices and volumes, as well as

how to manage and troubleshoot them in Windows XP Professional. You will

learn about compression, which allows you to store more data on a disk, and you

will learn about disk quotas, which allow you to control how much space a user

can use on a disk. You will learn how you can increase the security of files and

folders on your computer by using the Microsoft Encrypting File System (EFS).

You will also learn about defragmenting a disk, which allows your system to

access and save files and folders more efficiently.
