You're right, non-admin accounts only see other users folders and then usually only the Public folder. Admin accounts can see the whole HD. I had to test it out as I almost never use a non-admin account. But you can use SharePoints to provide much more control, similar to what Leopard allows. You can use it to make any folder (including the root) a share. You can also use it to create sharing only users. You can setup folders with different control for AppleShare and Windows Sharing too. www.versiontracker.com lists it. I believe there are different versions for Tiger and Panther. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
