Windows Forum / Outlook Express / General Topics / May 2007Readonly for other users
HI, I d like to setup my OE folder such that other users on my XP system can read the mails in my OE folder. But logging in my user logon will allow writing and replying. Right now, I have setup such that a backup software keeps copying my folder to another common folder for other users. Is there a better way to do this? Ideally i d like the others to access my same folder as a readonly folder. is that possible? Thanks Ramesh OE doesn't have any provisions that enable this. steve > HI, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Thanks > Ramesh > HI, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Is there a better way to do this?

Since what you are doing now doesn't prevent them from replying and provided only one user at a time is allowed access to it that might be just as good. However, if more than one user can be logged on at a time, trying to share files with OE probably would be problematic, even if only one user is allowed to write to them. > Thanks > Ramesh Good luck Robert Aldwinckle --- Thansk Robert. I will not need to deal with simultaneous access. Yet I find that the Readonly user is not able to read the folders created by me, while he is able to read the standard folders like Inbox, Sent items, etc. Any clue on that? Thanks again.

Ignoring OE's quirks can the other users see them? Can they open them in Notepad? --- |
