Re: Can't delete dotnet folder on slave drive

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Open My Computer. Right click on the drive in question. Select Properties from
the menu. On the General page, note what's listed under File System. If it says
FAT32, then you won't see a Security tab under any circumstances. The drive
would have to be using NTFS in order to have a Security tab.

A drive that's been formatted FAT32 can be converted to NTFS. Take a look at
this article for more info.

Nothing works. Even in safe mode, there is no security tab showing.

I am having the same problem but there is not SECURITY tab available. I
have
been to the Microsoft site and seen the below instructions:

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab, and then click to clear the Use simple file sharing
[Recommended] check box in the Advanced settings box.

However, I do not have a "Appearance and Themes" icon in my control panel.
Any ideas?

First off, the procedure you outlined above is used to gain access to the
Security tab on a system running XP Professional. If you have XP Home Edition
installed on your computer, you'll need to boot into Safe Mode to access the
Security tab on a folder's properties ***.

As for your question, Appearance and Themes is one of the categories listed
when
you have Control Panel configured for Category view. It sounds like you have
Control Panel configured for Classic View. If that's the case, you should see
the Folder Options icon in the right hand pane.

If you're still having trouble launching Folder Options, try either of the
following;

1. Open My Computer. Click on the Tools menu on the toolbar at the top of the
window. Select Folder Options from the menu that drops down.

2. Go to Start and click on Run. In the Open box enter control folders. Click
OK.
