question?

[Static89]

I have my external hardrive set up with all my media. i have my computer set up to my router. everyone in the house can access the media because i have a fair few movie dvd backups and legally downloaded music. my question is.

Can i make it so they cant change any of the media? they can access it, view it. copy it but not move it or delete it? im running windows 7 and have tried google but cant find the right words to find the solution to my problem.

Hi,

I'm assuming you're using Window 7's homegroup functionaility? If so, you need to right click on your libraries in My Computer on the top left, and set homegroup access to read only. Not Read/Write.

If you're using network only, i'm not to sure.

(Windows7) Right click the drive go to Properties, then click on the Sharing tab.
Also assuming you have already shared the drive by going to this same tab.
Go into the Permissions and change permissions so "read" is the only one allowed.
