My file system is NTFS but the security tab won’t appear in the properties of the drive/folder

A friend of mine asked me this question few days ago; he has converted his file system from FAT32 to NTFS. He had heard that there is security feature in NTFS. But even after conversion to the NTFS, the security tab won’t appear in the properties of the drive or folder. What actually has happened is that by default the files and folders use simple file sharing due to which the security tab is hidden. For displaying it:

  1. start -> Run -> control folders (Folder option frame opens)
  2. In view tab -> Advance settings, expand files and folders
  3. In the bottom uncheck ‘Use simple file sharing (Recommended)’
  4. Click ‘OK’

Walla…now, if you check the properties of files and folders, the security appears
