LabView Save change file privileges under Win2k

[Radek Sedlacik]

Hello,

When I change and save a VI which resides on c:\ drive its access rights are changed from Everyone (full controll - RWC) to access rights that only Administrators, me, and SYSTEM have full controll. Not Everyone.
I have local admin provileges on the PC and we use Win2k SP2 - LabView 6.0.2.
If the same think is done on d:\ drive acces rights stay unchanged.
There is no visible difference between c:\ and d:\ drive on system level (sharing, ...).
Does anyone has an idea what is responsible for such behaviour? Is it system or LabView? (Other applications like editors does not change any access rights).
Thanks in advance for an answer,

Radek Sedlacik.

Radek,
Instead of setting the security level of the VIs themselves, set the security level of the folder where the VIs are saved. I've seen this unusual behavior before when Win2000 would assign the saved VIs the same permission as the temp folder, not the folder the VIs are saved in.
To get around this, you should assign your desired security on the folder that contains VIs instead of the VIs themselves. Set the security of the LabVIEW temp directory to be the least amount of security that is acceptable (this must be less than or equal to that set on the VI directories). By doing this, the VIs that are saved will have their permissions set to that of the temp directory, but security on the directory containing the VIs will filter unauthorized users from acce
ssing the files.

The only reason I could think of why you have different behavior on the two drives, is because of the different permissions of the temp folder on those two drives.
