If your computer is in a workgroup (not a domain), you will need to turn off
"Simple File Sharing" in order to access the NTFS security settings tab in
Explorer.
In Explorer, goto Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and uncheck "Use Simple
Fire Sharing (Recommended)"
Now, right-click on a folder or file, and choose Properties. Now you should
see a security tab.
Cheers
