How to deal with questioners that don't accept your appropriate answer?

I've had this issue a couple of times now. A questioner (mostly newcomers) states a question where I provided an appropriate answer. However, either

  1. the questioner does not comprehend the answer because his knowledge is less than basic but is unwilling to research on his own, or
  2. the answer solved the problem, but opens up a different issue and he expects me/us to solve all his problems in one thread which, or
  3. he demands that we do his work for him (Restrict the user to access one folder only and deny all other folder in D: drive).

I see serverfault.com as a community to help and get something in return, or to get help and give something in return. Without that, the frustration grows and it makes me think twice before giving any answer to people with less that 200 points.

I would appreciate if there was some way to have answers marked as such, even if the questioner is one of the above mentions type of persons.
