OT Windows Admin rights

System running WinXP pro, fully patched up and with up to date
anti-virus, a particular application HAS to run as an Admin, is there
any way other Admins can be locked out from viewing the results?

If I was to create a folder on another drive as an admin could I protect
it from another Admin?

Go on.......

Like how does one make it work?

Sheesh.

Right-click the folder in question, choose Properties;
Click Advanced...;
Tick the "Encrypt contents to secure data" checkbox.

I'm sure you can work it out from there...

 

I can, but as Jim indicates, other Admins can easily get into the
folder and have a butchers.

I am looking for something to protect a folder with a password that
other admins are unable to get access to.

Would it be possible to use one of those protection programs, or
something similar, that some USB pen drives come with, or would an Admin
be able to get around that?

Not bothered about encription, just password protection so
other admins can't get in.

Or, the most simple solution is to employ admins who aren't nosey

To the OP: WTF is the app? A P45 generator?

 

Summat to with tissue and DNA, dont ask me I know **** all.

Heh, I'm reminded of various FD's asking how they could keep the ITD out
of the accounting systems )

Not without leaving a trail they;ve done so, if you allocate it by
unique username and set the security policy so it leaves an audit
trail.
