On my network i have a pc which has a whole haed drive shared, with hundreds of folders and stuff on it. The problem i have with this is that i want to be able to set permissions for these folders i.e. who on my network can view them and even make changes to them, on my main pc when i share a folder it brings up a new tab in properties that allows me to do this, how ever on the pc with the shared hard drive this doesn't happen Do any of you know how to get that tab to come up? or maybe just a peice of software that will let me set permissions? Thanks as always guys.
Are you running the same OS on both PCs? Also make sure you're logged in as Admin - simple stuff first.
if your are running windows on both, use the NTFS file sytem (you can convert from FAT32) and this has inbuilt stuff which is what your asking for (its under the permisions tab)
well i managed to get the other pc upgraded to pro, so now both pcs are on pro, however it still wont let me set permissions on the pc with all the files on!!! im really confused because the one downstairs does, but this one wont!!!!!!! please help guys.
