Security tab in windows xp by zaidgs on 01-22-2005 at 12:55 AM
as much as i know, the security tab (where u can set folder permissions) is only available for ntfs drives amd UNDER SAFE MODE, at least thats how i am doing it.
yet i have seen few computers running under normal mode, yet have the security tab available in the folder properties.
does anyone know how can i set up my windows xp so that the security tab will be also available under normal mode, cuz its frustrating when u have to restart into safe mode to change some permissions.

Only one more thing to add: (as long as I know) you can't uncheck "Use Simple File Sharing" in Windows XP Home, because there's no such checkbox; at least in normal mode.

Was it actually online, in the knowledge base?

why would it return results of Calcs or whatever its called in a Microsoft envirement? , surely they'd try pointing the user into using a Microsoft Product instead of some1 elses
