This is why you could not harden a NT machine according to MS recommendations and have a fully working installation of MS Office on it at the same time. To solve your problem, I see 2 ways: 1. Ask the vendors of application software for fixes for their broken software. The problem you report is NOT a problem of W2K, it is a problem of the application software! The software creates a new file, deletes the original file, and renames the new file to the old one. It should, of course, attach the old permissions to the new file. I don't see a way how the os should solve this application bug. 2. Put files with different permissions into different folders. This way is probably faster ;-) Frank Heyne
