Security Tab not available for folders

[wvmikep]

This is most perplexing and it's preventing my access-driven web app from running. I need to assign IUSR write access to my database. However, when I right-click on it and select Properties, there's no security tab. This computer (a laptop) is not ever connected to a domain and it's rarely connected to a network.

Ideas?

Hello the following should help you to solve this problem.

1) run 'My Computer'
2) click on 'Tools' -> 'folder options'
3) click on the 'view tab'
4) remove the check from 'use simple file sharing (recommended)'
5) apply changes and you should be able to change the security of the folders/files that you need...
