SUMMARY
In Windows NT and Windows 2000, local access controls can be set on just NTFS partitions, not FAT or HPFS partitions or floppies. Read/execute-only permissions should work properly on a CD-ROM.

The exception is that ACLs (access control lists) can be set on shares, regardless of the file system, to control access to all the files within that share. For example, you can give read access to everyone, but give full access just to members of a certain group or to certain individuals.
