Solution

Yes, it is possible to have write access to a file in Windows without having read access to that same file. Here are the steps to do it:

  1. Right-click on the file you want to change permissions for, and then click on 'Properties'.
  2. In the 'Properties' window, go to the 'Security' tab.
  3. Click on the 'Edit' button under the 'Group or user names' section.
  4. In the 'Permissions for Users' window, select the user or group that you want to change permissions for.
  5. Under the 'Permissions for Users' section, check the 'Write' box under the 'Allow' column, and uncheck the 'Read' box under the 'Allow' column.
  6. Click on 'Apply', and then 'OK' to save the changes.

This will give the selected user or group write access to the file, but they will not be able to read the file.
