I need to change the permissions of one folder.
I looked in help and it says to right click and go to
Properties. Then click on the security tab...I haven't
got any security tab. My OS is XP.
Thanks for any help.

If you have the XP Home Edition then you have to reboot into "safe mode"
before you can see the security tab.
See this website:
