hi everyone,

i recently updraded my xp home to professional.
I had some strange ntfs access problems and i thought with xp prof. i would
get the dialog for permissions on files and folders, but it isn`t there.
So now i can`t change the ntfs permissions on a folder which is neccesary (i
can`t access these folder with local adminstrator permissions).
What can i do to get the tab for ntfs permission?

regards

Click to expand...

Go to Control Panel and double click Folder Options.
Click on the View tab.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Advanced Settings box and
remove the check mark from the box next to "Use Simple File
Sharing (recommended)".
You should now see the Security tab in the folder's Properties
sheet.

Good luck

Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) and Computer Management
(compmgmt.msc) are both available in XP Home Edition. The
procedure for creating and formatting partitions on a basic
disk is the same for both Home and Pro.

Note how XP Home Edition is listed at the bottom of both of
those articles I passed along in the "Applies to" section.

Disregard my earlier response. I sent you the wrong reply.

You are correct, you cannot disable Simple File Sharing in XP
Home Edition. You can however start an XP HE system in Safe
Mode, log in as an administrator to get access to the Security
tab.

Good luck
