Windows Forum / Windows XP / Security and Administration / January 2005Restrict file/folder/program access
With Win XP and an NTFS system and admin privleges to my home PC (I have all), I should be able to set access permissions for other users of my machine. Instructions are provided here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/learnmore/accesscontrol.mspx But when I right-click on a file to get the Properties window, there is no Security tab. When I follow this tip... "To display the Security tab: Open Folder Options in Control Panel. ... On the View tab, under Advanced settings, clear Use simple file sharing [Recommended]." ... the "Use simple file sharing..." checkbox is not an option on the list. I have Win XP v5.1. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. P.S. I have 2 User Accounts set up: Administrator (titled with my name, actually) and Guest. I want to limit Guest access of certain programs, files, and folders. > With Win XP and an NTFS system and admin privleges to my home PC (I have > all), I should be able to set access permissions for other users of my [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > How Do I Get the Security tab in Folder Properties? http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_security_tab.htm  SignatureCarey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart!
