Accessing the security tab on a partitioned drive
Hi there,
I've just discovered a problem that I never noticed before. We have 1hard drive in our PCs partitioned so the C drive is the system partition and the D drive is for data that students can save files and folders into. OS on PCs is Win XP Pro SP3 and all PCs are in a Windows networked domain. Students want to be able to apply NTFS file permissions to the folders they create on the D drive but when they create the folder and select properties the security tab isn't there. The only tabs there are general and customise. They need this so other people can’t modify or delete their work in the folders they create on the partitioned D drive. I'm not really sure why this is - perhaps there is a group policy in place stopping this or some other reason?!?!!? So any help/advise welcome and if you think it is a group policy preventing them from accessing the security tab on the D drive please let me now what GP it is. Also is it possible to have different rights for students on the C partition and the D partition i.e. give the students the right to create and apply folder permissions on the D partition and not the C partition? Thanks in anticipation, Tony |

Accessing the security tab on a partitioned drive
Sounds like Simple File Sharing is turned on.

Accessing the security tab on a partitioned drive
Hi there,
I looked into simple file sharing and even when I login as an admin and turn off SFS students still don't have access to the security tab when the login, although I as an admin does have access to the required tab. Any other ideas/suggestions welcome! Also re the second question in my post is it possible for students to have different access rights/permissions on the D partition rather that on the C partition - if so how is this done. Kind regards, Tony |

Sorry to reply to myself but just noticed you said that as an admin you could see the tab, so it's not a FAT32 problem. Are these systems part of a domain? Could a Group Policy be in effect?

Accessing the security tab on a partitioned drive
Hi Tim,
Thanks for you replies! I managed to check that article out and unfortunately there isn't a GP in place that is stopping the security tab being displayed. I still have no idea why standard users cannot access this tab to apply their own security to the folders they create. As a work around I have scripted out a folder and applied the permissions for their class group and removed any access from other students but I would still like to find out why this security tab isn't there. Again any help by anyone would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Tony "Tim Jackson" wrote: "Tim Jackson" wrote in message ... "bud21" wrote in message ...
