Temp Files - Taking Control

Good Day - I'm hoping that someone can help me.

Running Windows XP - I am administrator. 2 other user accounts on computer.
I have access to these accounts.

Is there a way to ensure that I am the only one that delete temp internet files and cookies?

Thanks for your assistance.

 

You could set file permissions so they do not have access to delete the files.

See this Microsoft KB titled, How to disable simplified sharing and set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP, and follow the steps if necessary. (This should be already disabled for Windows XP Pro, IIRC - only needed for Win XP Home edition)

Then use the instructions in this Microsoft KB titled, How to set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions in Windows XP, to apply the appropriate permissions to their temp file directories.

WARNING: This will not be a transparent change, as the user will recieve an "Access Is Denied" message when trying to remove these files in the future.
