I need to find a program that will limit folder access and activity in 98SE and XP Home. I want to let others on the network be able to write to the folder and read the contents, but I don't want them to be able to modify or delete the files contained within. Is there such a program?

Why don't you just set the file/folder properties to Read Only

In XP at least, you can accomplish what you want to do by using NTFS permissions. Mind you, if you don't have an NTFS drive for your XP, you're kinda out of luck.
You could convert your drive, however

I'm pretty sure it does w/ an NTFS file system.
I've never played w/ the permissions in Home much, however. You might have to enable them first.
