No "Security" tab for files

[Jon Davis]

I'm getting "Permission Denied" in Windows XP Pro in an IIS ASP classic
application, while trying to use the FileSystemObject to write a file. This
is a developer workstation.

I'm used to using Windows NT Server, then Windows 2000 Server, then Windows
2003 Server, as a combination standalone workstation/server for my office. I
am used to being able to freely modify the files' ACL using the Security tab
in the files' or folders' Security tab. But after getting a new workstation
with Windows XP Pro, I see that the Security tab is stripped out.

Is there a setting in the Local Security Settings or some other place where
I can have access to the security settings for the files, to return this
Security tab?!

I am a web developer and I cannot afford to have to upload to the server for
every stupid test run for my web apps, just to be able to write files on the
web server. Keep getting "Permission Denied", and I can't do a thing about
it. The User access settings in the FP2002 web admin pages don't seem to
help even when I add IUSR_[LOCALHOST] as an author.

Thanks,
Jon

And by the way, I am logged in as "jdavis" as a member of Administrators
group, and the HD is NTFS formatted.

Maybe I need to log in as Administrator. How do you login as "Administrator"
without losing the Welcome screen and fast user switching?

Aha, found this in a previous thread, sorry for the noize

XP PRO: In Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, View and uncheck
Use Simple File Sharing.

You have to disable Simple File Sharing in Folder Options in Control Panel.
