Hey, I just got a new laptop and was trying to change permissions on the root of drive c. I right click in the root of drive c and choose properties. There is not a security tab. The drive is NTFS and when I right click on a folder I do get the security tab. Anyone know how to get the security tab back for the root of the drive? Thanks >> Stay informed about: New laptop and no Security tab on root of C drive

Any ideas anyone? Thank you for posting the reason. I would say that you should contact HP for help with their software. There is always the possibility that someone here as used or heard about this program (and I haven't, sorry) but it would be more efficient and direct to go to the source.

There are several MS KB articals that frown upon changing the permissions of the root, it can cause lots of headaches down the road. In fact, as I recall XP will pop up a warning if you try to do that. Better google around a bit and understand the issues involved... >> Stay informed about: New laptop and no Security tab on root of C drive

I have never seen such a warning though yes you need to be careful changing permissions on the root and system folders. Unfortunately for many the default permissions to the drive folder are too permissive in that they give users the ability to create folders in special permissions seen in the advanced page of security settings.
