Windows API: map drives and logon to folders
2002-09-24 -- Jim Kane
 
Newsgroups: comp.lang.clarion There are lots of ways. you can map a drive with WNetAddConnection2 (check it out on msdn - depends on OS where the directory is to determnine whether password is supported - needs to be nt,w2k,or xp server). you can impersonate a user with logonuser()/followed by impersonateloggedonuser() - again some OS differences. or you can change either the acl or sid to get the two to match. This is a bit more difficult. There is an msdn article "Howto:Set Security on a NTFS Folder Programmatically" that I've used lots of times. happy hunting jim kane "Paul Melevende" wrote in message news:3d911656@news.softvelocity.com... > Hi All, > > Can anyone please advise me how to use password protection of a UNC data > path?
