Cannot set 'Security' tab when looged on as administrator

Running Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3, logged on as administrator.

Having problems connecting to a shared printer on this system and strives to verify permissions.

When I go to properties of the printer, there is no security tab.

Same situation when I try to check the Permissions on the files.

Why the Security tab is not visible.

The most likely cause is that the Simple file sharing is enabled.  The Security tab appears only if simple file sharing is disabled.

"How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307874 >

In the case of the tab security is missing for the files, the tab appears only if the drive that the file is on a been formatted to NTFS. (No security for FAT volumes tab).

Another way to check the permissions of file is to use the command "cacls" from a command prompt window.

    If all goes well, the way you spelled the site above is just a typo.  This is "hpconnected.com".

    I just logged onto the site with my Tablet HP Slate 10 HD, and clearly, there are 4 tabs: home, Collections, Services and devices.

    Don't know what to say, except try to clear your cache and cookies in your browser, and then close the browser, open and try again to load www.hpconnected.com !

  • Set security on 'Decline' for users of Windows/object, cannot access a drive C and d. 'Access denied'-[[problem solved]]

    last updated *.

    Problem is SOLVED. Read my response at the bottom of this thread.

    * Update *.

    Solved for drive D as now but it is still not accessible. Help the Microsoft Experts kindly. By clicking on the C drive, I got "access denied."

    Hello world.

    I need help. I have windows 8, 64 bit computer laptop.  This system has 3 active accounts now. Account_One that is my administrator account. I have another

    "limited account" created on my machine Account_two and the third one is "Guest account" account that is enabled.

    Before you lend my cell phone to a friend in Account_two login I tried to restrict access to drives C and D of this Account_two which is a limited account.

    While I was doing it, I put approval for object 'Windows users' 'decline '. This object is usually the last in the list of objects on the window that appears when we sail to click with the right button on C drive > properties > Security. I realized that instead of

    for Account_two I did for Windows users / which means maybe Windows/users / * which covered my admin account too and that too on the drive root C.

    When I connected to my Account_one account that is an administrator account, I'm not able to access drive C and D where I put the authorization of 'decline' for all the attributes as shown above to object/Windows users.

    One of the folder that was on my desktop allows me to go inside the d drive as I kept this shortcut for easy access, but there is no way to navigate from c or d ' training on domestic issues. Not just me even Windows can not access important services such as 'Restore' and many others built in utilities of windows which simply will not charge blinking message windows has no access to it!

    Please help how to access drive C and D for my administrator account. I am connected to this account now, but can not access drive C or d. when I go to the Security tab in the drive C and D right click Properties I get the screen it as: you must have read allowed to view the properties of this object. Click Advanced to continue. When I click on advanced, I see the "advanced security settings for local disk (d :)), where the owner is presented as: unable to display current owner."  Exchange (Link) when I click on 'Change' I get the error message: cannot open access control editor access is denied.

    So I put the Windows/user object to "deny" on the tab security for all read and writes, and I'm not able to access anything whatsoever since my administrator account.

    Please let me know how to change access to 'allow' for c and D drive for the object user/Windows. From now there is no way to access this object by result cannot set permissions there.

    Help, please.

    Thank you very much.

    Thank you very much.

    Problem is SOLVED!

    After three days of effort I was finally able to fix this mess.  It took me three days after going through many similar positions as mine but no final answer or fix, so I kept

    through the 'access denied' messages on this community and won an idea on what

    had happened and what needed to be done. What I found that there are several hundred people

    like me, who have faced this problem and there is no final official help file to explain how to fix

    He IS but he MICROSFT official 'support chat' where they ask for $149 to connect remotely and difficulty

    the problem!

    in any case, here's how I solved my problem for people who need to fix it in case it happens to you.

    How the problem began; Read my original post above on top. In short, I set the security setting to refuse to

    Users of Windows/under the Security tab that comes after a right click drive then properties > Security. I put it and lost access to all readers!

    How I fixed it.

    Thanks to some nice people on this page of the community who have posted knowledge. A man had displayed the creation of "Administrator" "guest account of orders that I did now, I could sign out of my account and get on the 'Administrator' account with admin privileges so that I could fix it the mess on my account problem. So if you have similar problem first create the command prompt administrator account. However this only solved the problem partially as I could reverse the problem only on drive D and not on the drive C. I was able to go to security settings and set the properties 'allow' for drive D, but I was not able to read the page of security for drive C as he said I haven't read privilege he even newly created admin account.

    Now if I needed the "Access denied" problem on drive C. I continued through messages of so many "access denied" here and discovered about utilities like SFC, TAKEOWN, ICACLS, but none of them worked from the command prompt I always said "access denied."

    Thing was to take the mouse to the right of the screen and get this blue bar, then settings > change PC settings > General - Advanced startup-press the button -. Then he made up the blue screen, where you have the option called troubleshooting... go there and then advanced setting > look to start Windows from the command prompt. Do you have a command prompt with C:\windows\system32 on the command prompt. Here, my order was accepted both takeown and icacls. If I shot a command there: TAKEOWN /F /R C:\/a and I also tried icacls to give permissions after checking using the syntax on the command line itself. All commands ran successfully this time, but be careful what you give in the command. It's under a lien high built based on the account of Windows 8.

    Takeown command executed successfully and it solved my problem. I leave the command prompt then connected to this administrator account. This time, I could go to the Security tab of the C drive and set allow it for users here. Still on some issues, I was getting no access permission, but I was asked to change it to allow me to access to and I was able to do.

    For access to the C drive on the Security tab, you need to go to the 'Advanced' and change the owner too.

    in any case I'm happy this is finally resolved even if I wasn't getting much help responds I used the previous positions of other threads to solve.

    Since he was not an official help of WINDOWS or MICROSOFT on that page, I'm sure I did the security setting while making the methods of trial and error on my machine which may not be the right setting from the point of view of security in general, so I'll try to reset the default state machine as my problem is now solved.

    So I fixed it. If you need help let me know and I'll try to help you, and I do not charge $149 or $99.  ;-)

    If the previous step fails, then you will need to provide manuully of file permissions or folder.

    To apply permissions to a file or a folder

    (a) right click on the file or folder and then click Properties.

    (b) click on the Security tab, and then click Edit.

    (c) do one of the following:

    1. If you want to set permissions for a user who is not listed under group or user names, click Add, type the name of the user or group, click OK, select permissions and then click OK.

    2. to change or remove permissions for a user or an existing group, click the name of the user or group, select the permissions and then click OK.

  • How to set to default group or user names in the Security tab?

    I am trying to listen to music from my laptop to my PS3. I reinstalled my laptop without picking up my external hard drive and it has messed up the security settings in the files. I fixed it for my videos but I don't remember how. My videos has the default user in the window:

    Everyone

    HomeUsers (Robert-PC\HomeUsers)

    Robert (Robert-PC\Robert)

    WMPNetworkSvc

    The window under the Security tab of the My Music folder has these users:

    How can I bring to the security of the folder tab music to look at as they are in the video folder security tab?

    I checked everywhere on the internet and have not found the solution. I found it using Google, but I forgot the link to the site on which I found it.

    I suggest you to change your setting of security manually right-click the swith folder, select Properties, Security tab, select modify and delete the three main users or groups. After that select Add, select advanced in the dialog box select users or groups, and click Find now. In the search results panel, select the user or group to which you want to add (for example. Everyone or something else on the Security tab of the folder of your video you want to add), and then click OK until all the dialog box is closed. If there are error messages appear during the process, please take note and post them here. I hope this help you.

  • I see unknown accounts when editing file properties on the Security tab.

    Original title: file security accounts

    I noticed that when we look at some file properties, the Security tab shows an account listed as "account unknown (with the following information of number/letter).  What is this and can it be deleted?  It grows on files a little, but no more.

    The SID that you see refers to an account that you deleted at some point in the past. Nothing to worry about.
