im sharing some files on a network (windows 2000 here) and was wondering how to restrict a specific user on the network from acessing my files.

Go to the permissions properties and add the user and set his/her permission to DENY READ, WRITE, FULL CONTROL

thats the problem, when i go to add the user, its not listed. it only looks in my computer and wont allow me to look elsewhere...

[gerryf]

why exactly are you not wanting to share with this particular user? What kind of network is this? Domain or workgroup?

[-polarbear]

the user i want to deny access to is under WORKGROUP. i have a lot of entertainment stuff which is distracting this guy from his studys and hes gonna flunk out if i dont cut him off i can find his computer on the network under workgroup, but not in the permissions property for the files

and must you share this stuff with everyone else? How many people must this stuff be shared with?

[-polarbear]

not that many, only a few use it mayb 3-5 people

In a workgroup setting, if you know his log on name, create that user account on your machine and lock his permissions down

or

Remove the everyone group and create USER accounts for everyone else, then allow only them by adding them to the permission share
