NTFS Permission problem

[tunnu]

I am trying out NTFS permissions on my
WinXP Professional + SP2 standalone system.
I am logged in with Administrator account.

I've given Read, List folder contents and Read & Execute
permissions to the users group. Also a special permission
Create files / Write data & Create folders / Append data
has also been given by default. These are the only permissions
given to the users group to a folder on D:

Now when I login with a user account I can copy
paste any file from that folder.

Hows that possible? How can a user copy paste
a file when hes given read permission only?

However I cannot cut paste any file neither rename
it nor delete it which is what read permission is meant
for...

Plz help.

as far as im aware because you have granted Read permission to the folder that will still allow users to copy the file because by doing this your not actually changing anything in that folder or to the file. As you've experienced you cannot paste or rename the file as that is going against the effective permissions you've allowed. I don't think there is any NTFS permission that will stop a user from copying a file that they have read/list/execute permissions to. thats my understanding of NTFS permission for what its worth anyhoo
