I need to access the 'Security' tab in the C:/Documents and Settings/All Users folder properties to change some settings in order for me to install a game. However, when I right click on the 'All Users' folder and click on properties, the box that comes up only has 'General' 'Sharing' and 'Customize' tabs, no security!

I am the sole user of this laptop and therefore have all admin rights etc. I have started up in Safe Mode and logged on both as 'Administrator' and my own username because I heard that in Safe Mode you can access the security settings. However, when I did this, the folder only had the 'General' and 'Customize' tabs, still no security.

Any help is greatly appreciated as I would really like to get on with playing Condemned.


Some useful stuff that I hope will help:

Laptop Make - Acer Aspire 5680 Laptop

OS - Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2

My C: drive's type is shown as 'Local Disk' and the file system is FAT32.


Many thanks,

Nick

Problem solved now, thanks though! Turns out all I had to do was convert my Drive from FAT32 to NTFS!
