I recently brought down a w2K server and took the "Files"
drive out nd installed it into a Windows XP Pro PC. How
can I get permissions to view some of the directories?
The "security" tab is missing whan I look at the
properties of the drive.

Thanks!
 
XP PRO: In Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, View and uncheck Use Simple File Sharing. Now, when you right click on a drive, folder or file (on an NTFS partition) and select Properties, you'll see a Security tab. Here you can assign or deny permissions based on user name or user group membership.
