Lesson 6—Project 1 Key





*Depending on your lab setup, parts of this exercise may be beyond the students’ current understanding. If the students do not have multiple user accounts on their student computers, or don’t know how to create an additional user account, they will not be able to complete the exercise.

Create a new folder named Test on your Windows 7 desktop. If necessary, create a user account for this exercise called Test User. Assign Test User the following NTFS permissions to the Test folder: Read and Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read. Log in as Test User and attempt to create a text document inside the Test folder.

Did you succeed? You should not succeed. 

Modify the permissions on Test User to allow Write permissions. Attempt to create a text document inside the Test folder again.

Did you succeed? You should succeed.


Why did you succeed this time?What other permission could you have assigned the Test User account to allow Write permissions?

Another option though less preferred would be to grant Test User Full Control of the folder
