I’ve got an IIS server setup to run some tests for various scripts. Its setup on a Windows XP Pro and allowing “write” permission can be rather annoying. If your searching around you will find many guides on how to change a folder or a files permission and this is done by Right Clicking, going to Properties and then click on the “Security” tab. The “annoying” part of this all is by default Windows XP Pro does not come with the “Security” tab, even after IIS is installed.

To reveal the Security tab follow three simple steps:

1. Open Windows Explorer, and choose Folder Options from the Tools menu.
2. On the View tab, scroll to the bottom of the Advanced Settings and clear (click) the check box next to “Use Simple File Sharing.”
3. Click OK to apply the change, and you should now have a Security tab when viewing the properties of a file on an NTFS volume.
