How do I prevent edits on my networked .hta file?

My department shares a common drive on which I have a .hta file which is a web-looking interface to commonly used files. The .hta file lives on this common drive so I want to protect it from edits by others. How can this be done? Can I somehow password protect the .hta file?

If it is a windows server, you can set NTFS Permissions.

Yup, I second the permissions comment. Same if it's a *nix box. (Different method, same result).

If you're really paranoid, you can use the Microsoft Script Encoder to obfuscate (but not encrypt) your script code.

Warning: obfuscating the script will in no way prevent it from being edited! False answer:
