I'm more used to NT/2000 security, but now my new PC has arrived i've decided to ditch NT/2000 and run soley with XP Pro.
I have a number of partitions I want to protect from access by other users(such as my recovery partition). Now, I used to use 2000's file security tabs to do it but in XP Pro I don't seem be able to find how to do it. Any ideas? |
You still get the same Security tabs, but only when you've joined an existing NT domain or AD.
If you're running XP Pro in a workgroup (or standalone), then no tabs. I'm still trying to work this one out myself :( Stefan |
Neil,
You need to disable 'Simple File Sharing' to get access to the full Access Control List (i.e. the security tab). Simple File Sharing is enabled by default unless you join a domain. It's the only choice for XP Home. Stefan |
Neil,
Go to My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View. Scroll to the bottom of the list of advanced settings and un-check Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended). Click OK. Stefan |
Cheers :D
Why did M$ have to change everything around :( |
They like changing default settings and f***ing everyone around :rolleyes:;)
