Win Xp: Set Permissions On Files Or Folders

Set permissions on files or folders (Windows XP, Windows 2000)

To set permissions on individual files and on folders, you must use NTFS file system.
NTFS file system provides features such as: Encrypt files, Compress a file or folder, Disk quotas and Set permissions on files or folders.
To convert a drive (for example drive C) to NTFS go to command prompt and type>> convert C: /fs:ntfs
Note that you cannot simply convert it back to FAT or FAT32.
OK, enough
1-By default, Windows does not display Security tab in files or folders Properties. To enable this feature go to Folder Options and clear “Use Simple File Sharing” check box in view tab.
2- Right click on your file or folder and click Properties, click Security tab and set permissions. For additional permissions or inheritance information click on Advanced.


To change file permissions on Microsoft Internet Information Server read related tutorial on Coppermine Website (it is about Coppermine Photo Gallery): http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/tutorial...issions/iis.php

As usual, another great tip soleimanian. I have the same question as I had for another one of your tips. Does this apply to Windows XP Home also (or just Pro)? I'm not in front of my computer right now since I'm out of the country.

Hey thanks for the tip, This was one thing that I had never really thought about in windows. Sure in unix/linux you are almost constantly working with permissions and the same is true when uploading websites. Most of the time I handle all my permissions on the files after they have been uploaded via ftp, but this can often take considerable time when you are dealing with lots of files. I'm sure that I will be using this security tab a lot. Thanks again.

Somewhere microsoft thought the confusing mess of permissions and user account paradigms and security levels was less complicated than POSIX spec permissions...LOL
