    text
    copied!<p><strong>Update 3:</strong> the restrict access, using the security tab works now. (that's manually) now looking to do it programatically (using Visual C#) and also how to access a file using administrator account in a simple user account. hint - I noticed this feature in Windows, right click and use 'Execute as', enter the administrator password and then you can access the file.</p> <p><strong>Update 2:</strong> Found how to display the security tab</p> <blockquote> <p>To display the Security tab</p> <p>Open Folder Options in Control Panel. (Click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options.)</p> <p>On the View tab, under Advanced settings, clear Use simple file sharing [Recommended].</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Update 1:</strong> I found the following <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456977.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">article</a>, which suggests how to give permissions to files, however I don't find the security tab when I click properties, do you have it? Any ideas how to get it</p> <p>I have a file that I want to protect from bein modified. Don't say to me encrypt it, this don't solve the problem, I want that users can't change the file, BUT only me (my program). Is there any type of authentication for Windows files, I know that what I say is stupid about authentication, but some Windows files are inaccessible like 'ntuser.dat.LOG' in the user profile. When I try to open this file it doesn't open.</p> <p>I want something like that, for this file it seems because Windows is using it. Right. But what about if my program shutdown, I don't want the file to be changed in this case also. How shall i do?</p> <p>I don't ask for the complete detailed solution, I want ideas, suggestions, tips, or any thing you know that it'll help, as it seems to be complicated :p</p>
