Hi,

Just wondering if there is a way to add file permissions
to folders and files without adding a pc to a domain.

It is a standalone pc at home running windows xp and I
need to add permissions so that other people in house
cannot go into certain directories etc.

please advise

Click to expand...

Start -> Help & Support
search for File Permissions.

You must be NTFS.. No domain was ever required to define file and directory
permissions on a machine.

BTW - I hope that email address is fake - otherwise expect emails from Fake
Microsoft's offering patches. Spam is evil. Protect yourself!
 
Hi,

the drive is NTFS but not bale to set permissions on it.
you only have the sharing tab...

anything else to try?

In Home the Security dialog is only available in properties
of NTFS objects when you are in a F8 safe mode boot.
In a normal boot you can use the cacls command at cmd prompt.
cacls /?
gives syntax info.
