The Windows NTFS file system offers use greater security than with the earlier FAT system. In particular, you now have greater protection for individual files and directories.
You are able to assign access rights to any file or directory with the choice of settings including no access, read only access, or full access. This also extends to the programs that are on a particular computer. And users could only run the particular programs they have access to. If you need it you can easily and automatically encrypt and decrypted the data stored on a hard disk.
Also, you can assign disk quotas to different users to restrict the disk space that a person can use. This also means limiting the disk space users can access on a particular partition. Only the users see these settings but the system administrator does not.
This customization is useful in environments where several users share one computer. This makes it unlikely for one user to have access to another user’s work. It also prevents changes or accidental erasure of work without the correct user’s permission.
