To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions

1.. Open Windows Explorer, and then locate the file or folder for which
you want to set permissions.
2.. Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the
Security tab.
3.. Do one of the following:
a.. To set permissions for a group or user that does not appear in the
Group or user names box, click Add. Type the name of the group or user you
want to set permissions for and then click OK.
b.. To change or remove permissions from an existing group or user,
click the name of the group or user.
4.. Do one of the following:
a.. To allow or deny a permission, in the Permissions for User or Group
box, select the Allow or Deny check box.
b.. To remove the group or user from the Group or user names box, click
Remove.
Important

a.. If you are not joined to a domain and want to view the Security tab,
see To display the Security tab.
Notes

a.. To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to Programs, point to
Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.
b.. In Windows XP Professional, the Everyone group no longer includes
Anonymous Logon.
c.. You can set file and folder permissions only on drives formatted to
use NTFS.
d.. To change permissions, you must be the owner or have been granted
permission to do so by the owner.
e.. Groups or users granted Full Control for a folder can delete files and
subfolders within that folder regardless of the permissions protecting the
files and subfolders.
f.. If the check boxes under Permissions for user or group are shaded or
if the Remove button is unavailable, then the file or folder has inherited
permissions from the parent folder. For more information on how inheritance
affects files and folders, see Related Topics.
g.. When adding a new user or group, by default, this user or group will
have Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permissions.
For more information about permissions on other objects, see Permissions.
