Security: Folder Permissions

You need to configure file system permissions on a folder located on a computer running Windows XP Professional. When you display the Properties dialog box for the folder, the Security tab is not available.

What should you do? (Select TWO.)
1. >>Verify that your user account has Full Control of the folder.
2. Verify that the folder is shared.
3. Verify that the computer is a member of the domain.
4. >>Verify that the partition is formatted as NTFS.
5. Verify that Simple File Sharing is not enabled.

Explanation : You should verify that the partition is formatted as NTFS. You can only set file system permissions on a folder that is located on an NTFS partition.

You should also verify that Simple File Sharing is not enabled. When Windows XP is first installed, Simple File Sharing is enabled by default. When Simple File Sharing is enabled, the Security tab is not visible.

You do not need to verify that the computer is a member of the domain. You can set file system permissions on standalone computers (workgroup members).

You should not verify that the folder is shared. File system permissions control local access to the folder and do not require the folder to be shared.

You should not verify that your user account has Full Control to the folder. Although you will need Full Control to the folder, not having the Full Control permission will not prevent the Security tab from being displayed.
