Missing security tab on folders and files - Vista Beta 2

Posted: 05-27-2006, 02:13 PM
I have downloaded and installed Windows Vista Home Basic Beta 2 x64 edition.

I am missing the security tab on files and folders. This is to be expected
as its home edition but on Windows xp you could untick the 'disable simple
file sharing' option and the tab would appear. This option is not present.

During testing I powered off my machine half way through an installation of
vista to see what would happen, then I installed a new version, it copied my
previous attempt to windows.old, now I am trying to delete this folder but am
unable to, error access denied appears, I need to take ownership and delete.

Whats strange is that if I share the folder with full share access and then
connect by share, it lets me delete the folder, no errors appear, but its not
really deleted it, when I close explorer & reopen the folder is back again!
is that a bug?

Regards

Scott
