Question

A user is given Read permission to a file stored on an NTFS-formatted volume. The file is then moved to a different folder on a different NTFS-formatted volume where the user has been given Modify permission for that folder. The file is then moved to a folder on a FAT32-formatted volume. When the user signs in to the computer holding the file and accesses it via a drive letter, what is the user's effective permission to the file?

Answer 1

Permissions do not apply here.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is that FAT partitions do not have files and folders permissions, only have sharing permissions. Therefore, once the file has been removed from the NTFS partition, the restrictions that once applied to it are now gone.
