Security permission for local drive in windows XP
I need assign full control of hard drive C to Everyone, it is required by our new software implementation. In windows 2000 I could highlight local drive C, go to property and change permissions under the security tub as needed. In windows XP this option is disabled by default. When I go to the property of the local C drive I can see only the sharing tub. How to change security permissions for Everyone? Is there a registry entry that can give access to the security tub? Help….ASAP

Is the volume NTFS? If not, you won't see a "security" tab. You will have to convert to ntfs using
convert c: /fs:ntfs
i will require a reboot. Then you will see a security tab.

Of course, if you don't have NTFS you are running FAT<16 or 32>, C: is already at Everyone: Full Control. Otherwise, the Simple File Sharing comments should work for you.
Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options.
On the View tab, under Advanced settings, clear Use simple file sharing [Recommended].
