File permission

[skchow]

Dear Sir,

I've prepared excel file with macro in network P.C  located at C:\ folder.
The excel file have to be in root directory.
How to setup the file permission in Window XP to prevent user delete/rename the excel file but user can access the file?
Any suggestion?

Thanks & kindest regards
Charlena

You are going to have to give us a little bit more information on what exactly it is that you are trying to do

Try this:
Put it in its own folder
And right click that folder, and click the option that says "Sharing"

The options that you are looking for should be in there

Under
"Groups and Users"
Click the one that is titled "Users"
You will then see the security permissions for that user group

If they need to be able to open and run the file, select Allow:"Read and Execute"
If they need to be able to only need to be able to view it, select Allow:"Read"

If you dont want them to be able to do anything, click the "Deny" box for "Full Control"

Thank you for your guidance
They need to read and run the file, so select Allow "Read and Execute". But they able to delete/rename the file. Anything wrong with the setting? How to set the permission that they cannot delete/rename the file? See attachment

Have you tried logging out of the administration account, and logging in again as a regular non-admin user?
Since all you are controlling is the regular users (I presume) being logged in as the administrator will not apply these settings
