Hello,
I teach a C/C++ programming course and students submit their source code to
me by email. I currently have an automated program that compiles their files
into an executable, checks their files with PC-lint, then does a bunch of
style checking on them. I would like to be able to also run the executables
but I'm somewhat afraid to lest they inadvertently (or intentionally) do
something like system("DEL /S C:\\ . ").
I'm not much of a Windows system type but I understand that there is a way
to run an application with limited privileges or maybe to run it as another
user with limited privileges. The executables do need to be able to create
and delete files but I need to limit this to a specific set of directories
rather than the entire computer. I know how to setup multiple users manually
but I've always had to simply switch between them from the Start button.
Obviously I don't know what I'm talking about here so any information would
be appreciated, the more specific the better.
Thanks,
Ray Mitchell
