hi, I'm a beginner to cvs and windows so my questions should be simple to answer hopefully and I appreciate anyone's help in advance. I have 3 PCs (all windows XP pro) connected together through a router which connects to the internet. I want to use one of the PCs as the CVS repository (lets call that one serverPC) and the other 2 PCs as the clients. Following the installation tips from http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationTips I created the c:\cvsrepo and c:\cvstemp on serverPC. Now my first 3 questions are more of windows XP question. 1) how do I change the security settings for cvstemp to allows full control for all accounts including SYSTEM. 2) how do I create a group called CVSUsers on serverPC and how do I add all the CVS users as members of this group. 3) in the installation tips it says "login as administrator and right click on c:\cvsrepo and select properties. Click on the 3rd tab for permissions, and give full control permissions for CVSUsers and SYSTEM accounts", however when I right clicked on cvsrepo there was no 3rd tab for permissions, so how should I do that? If it's possible, if somebody could walk me (with some details) through the windows XP setup on serverPC before I actually install cvsnt, it would be fantastic. I still have more questions about the setup but I'll wait till after I did the above. Thank you, Kareem
