Security Tab Missing In Folder Properties Windows 10
Access to the files and folders. You can view security permissions for files and folders by completing the following steps:-In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder you want to work with.-From the pop-up menu, select Properties, and then in. I have a folder in a USB drive and I want: 1) to make it non-readable 2) to make it readable but non-executable. Now, if you google there seems to be a lot of pages with the apparent solution. However they all go 'Right click the folder, and select settings. Then select the Security tab.' I can do that with folders in my C: drive.

Is your hard drive formatted with NTFS or with FAT32? This won't work without NTFS..
Imar
My original problem is that I get the following msg when I try to install software
Error -1607: Unable to Install InstallShield Scripting Run Time
One of the steps (2-B) in the following link led me to this faq

do you have any thoughts on this?
Thx

I think you misread my previous post. You *do* need NTFS to make this work.
And sorry, no, I have no solution for your problem.
Imar

I really thank you for your help.
for the Information.

Is your disk formatted with NTFS or with FAT?
Imar
I have an NTFS formatted drive on the workstation I want to use to connect to a shared folder on our network. I disabled the 'use simple file sharing' and rebooted and I still do not see a 'Sharing and Security' option when I right click on the folder I want to share. Any ideas?
Thanks,
David
You should do this on the machine that shares the folder; not on the one that uses the share.
Hope this helps,
Imar
Did you reboot? Is your disk NTFS? Does your OS support this?
In other words: I am not sure how you think I can 'solve your problem thanks' if you don't supply any relevant information at all.
Cheers,
Imar
If you followed all the steps in the article and comments, I am out of ideas. It's been a while since I used XP ;-)
Cheers,

Thanks. Yes XP has been around for a while now, but is better than Windows 8odge, imho.
I found a cure to the XP Security Tab missing problem here:

I thought it might help others to mention it here.
Kind regards,

Unfortunately, something went wrong and your message or comments have not been submitted successfully.
There's a fair chance things broke down because you tried to post something that looks like HTML. Things that look like HTML include (X)HTML, obviously, XML, ASP.NET markup and c# generics syntax as all of them use the < and > characters.
If that's the case, try altering your message and remove anything that looks like an angled bracket. You can replace them with [ and ] for example so you can still make it look like HTML to some extend.
If, on the other hand, you were trying to spam this web site, I am pretty glad I caught you in the act and stopped you from doing so ;-)
Also, please don't use links in your posts; I had to block them to filter out most of the junk mail I am receiving.
