security options not installed
Befor getting a new HP VECTRA PC with Windows2000 preinstalled I had a WindowsNT station which allowed me to put some security options on folders and printer sharing. Windows2000 has no options for this staff. I have a printer connected to my computer and the users set to have access are restricted after a while for the password is no longer valid. But I didn't set this restriction and cannot cancel it because I couldnt find where. Other guys which use W2000 have these security tabs in FolderOptions after disabling simple file sharing (which is not on my installation). The provider gave me an "Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM" for backup which I wouldn't use because I'm afraid not to damage the software installed.
Could anybody help me to find out the security options and access ?
Thanks

It's FAT32. Is there any danger in convertion because I have no room for backup my data ?
There is no danger in converting to NTFS. I've done it many times with no problems...

>>There is no danger in converting to NTFS
Not true. There IS a danger and there is a possibility to lose all your data.
If anything on the disk is important, and you cannot afford to lose it, BACKUP BEFORE attempting this operation.
Of course, you should have a CURRENT BACKUP AT ALL TIMES anyway, since your HDD could die at any time without notice...

Check your disk from disk management...
is there space that you can use for creating another partition. If so then create a FAT32 partition, backup your important data to it and then convert the original partition to NTFS.
Usually file system conversion goes OK...but you never know.
You could burn onto a CD as well..or buy another HD :)

Moia,
Did you get the 'security tab' by following mfaisal's instructions above. Since I do not use fat32 on my w2k/XP systems I would like to know the outcome of this question.
Thanks

There is no path c:\winnt\sysvol\ mfaisal. Neither hidden.
I followed naseer's comments and changed user's policies. Now about folder sharing. I completely denied permission for one user on a folder and still has access on. Why's that ?

NTFS file system will have the security tab - fat32 won't.
You would need to convert it to NTFS to get the security tab -
If it is NTFS file system then you don't have the correct permissions.
convert volume /fs:ntfs
see convert /? from a DOS prompt.
