| On my course and on the study CD's that I have, it was/is recommended to delete the "everyone" group. Can somebody clarify this for me? As I feel that it would have wide reaching consequences. Am I right, as I don't want to screw up my system by trying it out, or am I being a bit of a Granny? | |

| What they are referring to is removing the permissions from the Everyone Group, not deleting the group entirely. When you create new folders in Windows, Everyone is given full control until you take it away. I usually will add the groups I want to have access first, then remove the Everyone Group from the new folder. It's MS's way of helping you grant access to those who need it right out of the box, but not terribly secure 
Hope this helps clear this up for you a bit. | |

| Replace the "Everyone" Group with "Authenticated Users" on file shares
"Everyone" in the context of Windows 2000 security, means anyone who gains access to your network can access the data. Never assign the "Everyone" Group to have access to a file share on your network, use "Authenticated Users" instead. This is especially important for printers, who have the "Everyone" Group assigned by default. |
