How to restrict folder access? Win2k

[aceO07]

Here's what I want to do. Create users that have full access to one folder AND also keep others out. They will be part of 2 Groups, Guest and GK. There will be other users, that will be in 2 Groups too, Guest and AK.

I want to create folders for each of the 2 types of users. The folder should ONLY be accessible for the appropriate group. GKFolder should only be accessible by those in the GK Group, and so on.

First, your file system MUST BE NTFS, and NOT FAT32. This is impossible with FAT32.

Second, you will need to create a couple security groups (admin tools in control panel).

Then you will need to add users to the groups.

Then you will need to grant access to the folders you want according to the groups you have set up!

I know this is the 30,000 foot view...

Yup, I have already done everything you mentioned.
The folders are on a partition that is NTFS. Folders are: JoeFolder, AlexFolder.
I have created Groups JK and AK.
There are 2 users; Joe (Groups: Guest, JK), Alex (Groups: Guest, AK)
For the JoeFolder, I added Group: JK to security permissions. I enabled Full Control for this group.

Now, how do I DENY access to this folder and its files to ALL other Groups? Besides, administrator?

If I am reading this right it looks like you should be all set except for one thing...it looks like all of them are members of the "guest" group. When you get properties on the folder and check permissions the only thing you should see will be the Admin and JK group.

Am I reading this right?

I got it. I think, I just unchecked the inherit option and then removed the Everyone group. I didn't know that that group could be removed. Thanks for all the help.
