Re: Access Denied for Folder

Is your file system NTFS? If not, you won't see the Security tab, even in Safe Mode.

Thanks Malke.
I used "lock my folder 1.2.3"
As suggested I went in safe mode but there is no security tab visible in
properties. I don't know whether my windows is corrupted or there is some
other problem?

Any further help will be highly appreciated.

One of my folder in "F" partition was locked through one locking

uninstalled that programme. Everytime I click on that folder I receive a
message that "access denied".
I also tried in safe mode but still access denied. I went through
microsoft knowlegde base article saying to change security in safe mode
BUT NO SECURITY BUTTON PRESENT IN PROPERTIES OF THAT FOLDER EVEN IN SAFE
MODE. I AM WONDERING WHY THAT BUTTON OR DIALOGUE IS NOT PRESENT WHEN IT
SHOULD BE.

I AM USING WIN XP HOME EDITION WITH SP2 AND ALL RECENT UPDATES.
ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

It is not necessary to shout. We can hear you just fine if you type in mixed
case. It *is* necessary for you to provide the name of the "locking
programme" if you want focused help.

For the security tab, see:
