That was the idea: make a tiny EXE that then runs the desired program. Rig things so that the user can't access the target program directly, but the tiny EXE can. I don't know how to go about changing the group or owner or whatever from the program, so you'll have to find a guru for your network. On UNIX for example, the user cannot create a subdirectory. The system call will error with "user does not have that right" which is pretty much the same situation you have with the network rights assignments. However, the MKDIR program executes with more privleges, and it can do so for you. –John
