Thanks for the help... Its not much difficult...

Actually - depending on your level of familiarity with Win7 and Active Directory the best way to do this (especially for a large group of users) is to create a Security Group in AD, and then add the users to that. Then allow that security group full control over the folder and no one else. This assumes that everyone is in a group (domain users for example) and these "special" people will be in both groups.

This way you can simply add or remove people from that security group and that will allow them access to that folder. This is especially good if you want to allow some people (like your Boss or the Board) access to everything. Put them in an admin group and allow them full control of everything - without having to go through and name them.
