If you want to see the Security tab when looking at permissions on a Windows XP computer, you need to configure Windows to show it to you.

To do so, follow these steps:

• Go to Windows Explorer, and then click on the Tools menu and select Folder Options.
• Click on the View tab and then scroll down to the bottom of the Advanced Settings portion of the Folder Options dialog box.
• Clear the “Use Simple File Sharing” checkbox and click OK. Of course, NTFS permissions are only visible on NTFS volumes, so if your volume is formatted as FAT, you still won’t see the Security tab.

For those of you out there with XP Home workgroups, you may find that you’re not even seeing the “Use Simple File Sharing” checkbox. This is because with XP Home the Security tab cannot be displayed for logged on users by default. This is also attributed to the influence of Mr. Miyagi. When asked by Microsoft about what to do with security and XP Home, Miyagi offered “If whole life have balance, everything will be better.”

So to balance XP Home with XP Pro, it was thought that no access to the Security tab for normal XP Home users would create that balance.

Windows Server 2003 R2 allows administrators to apply quotas to individual shares on a file server. This can be useful if you need to: monitor the use of file shares in your environment; keep user home directories at a manageable size; or limit the amount of data that users can store in a share to conserve disk space. You may also find these features helpful for tracking resource usage and disallowed file types. (Note that you may need to install the File Server Resource Management utilities for quotas to work.)
