Guest Jasper Recto Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I have a folder that allows access to certain users. Is it possible to have that folder prompt for a user and password when people try to save files to it? It would need to prompt them when they are saving from excel or word as opposed to somebody trying to copy a file into it. Is this possible? Thanks, Jasper

NTFS security is more robust but does not allow for this sort of access.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Re: Prompt user for protected folders Hello Jasper, No, not with windows. But why should they logon, when they are domain members abd you grant them access to that folder with NTFS permissions? If they should not, do remove the permissions or make them read-only.
