I have a 1TB secondary drive in my desktop computer that I have the root of shared over my local network. Inside are 5 folders, all but one of I want to be accessible over the network (one is a backup folder I don't want accessible to other network computers). Before I reinstalled my OS I had figured some way of changing the permissions so that if I was on the desktop itself I could get into the backup folder, but if I was on any other computer on the network I could see the shared drive and modify any folder but the backup one. I just recently reinstalled Windows Vista (Went from 32 bit to 64 bit) and now I can’t remember how I had set the permissions. [more inside]

I've been looking for work for a little while, and have just come across position which would be ideal for me. It's an IT team leader role with an Engineering firm here in Brisbane (Australia), and I've applied for the role in the normal fashion (website / phone follow-up). However, general advice seems to be that one has better luck networking one's way into a role, and in this instance I have the option to do so -- my father is a respected engineer, and (although they're not close mates) has known the COO, MD, and Chairman of the board for years, and has previously worked with them. The organisation doesn't have a CIO, so there's a good chance the IT function reports to the COO. So, how could I use this information to my advantage? Or is the link too tenuous, and I should simply rely on the standard application process?
