Security Tab in Workgroup

[Dehcbad25]

keege, not for nothing, but.............that is not a solution............it defeats the whole pourpose of security.
The real question is how to check and change the security for the drives and folders if you are in a workgroup. This questin actually would have a lot of aplications. For a normal home user might seem overkill to have that much control, but, imagine in a small company with a workgroup config. Beyond that, I think most of us should use the PC with a limited account, and use the run as command to run aplications that require power user rights with another account. If it is a must, use an account with admin rights. I enforced this system at work, and it works pretty well. There is no administrator account for the Domain anymore and each has a admin account to do admin stuff, but they work logged in their computers as domain users.
My brother is testing this same method at his house, and, yes we found a lot of problems and it is kind of inconvenient, but.......he hasn't have a single spyware for months, and for first time in years he hasn't had to format his computer for 3 full months already (it is a record)
If most poeple run IE with limited rights, it would reduce their soyware considerably (firefox is better, I know).
So, my logic is ...no use the admin account.

Open Windows Explorer, click on tools, select folder options, open the view tab, scroll all the way to the bottom and uncheck "Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)....wahlaa you now have the Security tab.
