Hi folks,

I am currently running a small webserver on one of my machines which
deposits attachments in a folder (which we'll call "temp" ). However I
want to block this program from having access to the folder as some of
the attachments are potentially malicious.

I am running XP Home, so I do not have the NTFS file permissions that
Pro does. I have tried setting the attrib command to read only, and the
program can still write there. Its possible that its because I'm logged
in as me when it does its writing, and I set the read only attribute.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can solve this problem? For some
reason when I set the read only tag in Windows it never changes from a
green box rather than a tick - any thoughts on that as well?

Thanks in advance.

Antony
