Windows 2000 Security Problem

[Paul Whitehouse]

I have a file access problem with users other than
administrators. The files affected do not have a security
tab on them which would enable me to examine whether that
is the problem. An identical computer with the same
programs has the security tabs on the files. Any ?deas
please?

On the computer not showing the security tab, is the disk formatted NTFS?

If not see:

Sounds like the other system (the one missing the security
tab) was not using NTFS. You can only enable security on
files by using NTFS partitions. FAT (even FAT32)
partitions assume all users are full administrators at all
times.
