directory permissions

[Cecile]

I need to change the permissions on one folder in order
to put my e-cards online. In the properties, i'm supposed
to click on the security tab but I don't have any.
Someone suggested to me to restart in safe mode but of
course, it doesn't work. I also read that only NTFS file
could be modified...what's NTFS?
If you have any tip or know a web designer, please feel
free to let me know!
Thanks

What do you mean that safe mode does not work?
In Home edition the Security dialog on filesystem
objects is only available in safe mode.
In Pro you can shut of Simple sharing if you want
to have this dialog available in a normal boot.
NTFS is the Windows native filesystem that has
ability to enforce access control permissions, among
other features. The other possible filesystem in Windows
is the old FAT filesystem inherited from DOS.
If you have Home, and Safe mode does indeed not work,
then you will have to use the cacls commandline utility.
start / run cmd
and then enter
cacls /?
for syntax info.
If you need to use this you may want to post back, as
first use of cacls can be duanting.
