Actually xp home does have the security tab. It's just hidden by
default. Many of xp pro features are in xp home, just hidden and no
way to bring them out that is obvious. To get the security tab in xp
home, boot to safe mode and the security tab appears.
Or a better way is:
This is the method of choice for setting user security permission in
Windows XP Home. It is very easy to install and will bring back the
Security tab in Normal mode.
1.) Download the NT 4 Security Configuration Manager from
http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/recommended/scm/default.asp.
2.) Run the scesp4i.exe file and extract all files to a temporary
directory.
3.) Right-click on the setup.inf file and choose the install option.
4.) Answer no if asked to overwrite essent.dll.
You will now be able to access the Security tab
XP Home doesn't have a Security tab IIRC; that's one of the major
differences 'tween Home and Pro - simpler (for want of a better
word) security functionality.

in message Do you see a security tab? You won't if you aren't using
NTFS....but if you aren't using NTFS, you shouldn't be having any
permissions problems. Look at the main properties page on your
hard drive itself to see what your file system is.

Hi,

folders become read-Only, I can't copy or create files insid any
folder, however I can create folders.

seems to be done, But the next time I open the property window,
I find it checked (not a check but like Painted).
Any help please.
Thanks
