Hi Mark,



Yes, the administrator can control the access privileges for any application or file, by modifying its security settings. With Windows Explorer, see under File|Prperties|Security. Whether that's the 'correct' way to do this, I don't know - it's not something I've ever needed to bother with. Such issues are more applicable in corporate environments, and are the concern of systems administrators.
