XP Client Secutiry without a Domain Controlled environment

[Guest]

I am looking into the XP Secutity functions on XP Prof. On a Domain
controlled environment when you right click on a file and select properties
you can set the security functions individualy to a group or a user. But on a
non domained XP Prof there are no options to do so. How can I change the XP
Prof secutiry functions to act the same way as when added to a domain
controlled environment.


As Msft loves always to refer to Servers and Clients together in a domain
environment where the client then sets the secutity functions explicid, but I
know that on a client without a server these functions are enabled but can
not be modified by the users which is what I am looking for. Thanks for your
time.

You need to disable simple file sharing. Go to Windows Explorer/tools/folder
options/view and uncheck the last option for use simple file sharing and of
course the file system needs to be NTFS. FYI Microsoft has a free download
called Shared Computer Toolkit that makes it much easier to lock down non
domain computers when you want to apply different GP type restrictions to
different users. --- Steve

Thank you very much for the simple answer and for your valuable help as this
question has been in my head for months and I could never figure it out and
there was no direct answer on the knowledge base of Msft. I had asked many IT
eng. and nobody could answer this silly but very important function as most
are used to domain controled environments. - Sigismund
