The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q148334 SUMMARY
If a user on a Windows NT Workstation 3.51 has write privileges on a
Windows NT Server 3.51, the user can compress or uncompress NTFS files on
the server.
MORE INFORMATION
NTFS compression is a write operation. Anyone with write privileges can
compress and uncompress files on the shared NTFS partition. If you are
concerned about users compressing and uncompressing large number of files
and directories on the NTFS partition, use the Windows NT security model to
restrict user access. For example, you may want to give a user write
privileges to his or her own directory on a large server, and restrict
write privileges on the root directory or other users' files.
