Permissions

[TigerAlum]

Hey,

I'm trying to set some permissions in WinXP but whenever I select
properties of a file or folder there's never a Security tab to set
permissions. All I have is a General tab and a Sharing tab. I
checked the properties of my hard drive's partition and it is NTFS but
I don't see any way to set permissions. Anyone have an idea what the
deal is?

thanks, mike

You most likely need to disable Simple File Sahring. Also if you are
running XP Home boot into Safe Mode.

If you have XP Pro, go to Folder Options - View and uncheck the box 'Use
Simple File Sharing'

XP Home is limited to the Simple File sharing in normal use, and does
not support Security tabs
