Sharing And Security Settings Not Showing Security

Jun 23, 2005

I've forgotten but in a new install of XP-Pro,SP2 using NTFS on C: I don't have the Security Tab when I right click on a folder to setup sharing. I want this so I can set Permissions, etc. I have it on my other PC set up the same way but for some reason I don't on this new install.

What am I doing wrong? My username is a member of the Andministrators group.

Security Center:no Options Listed Under The Manage Security Settings?

Sep 7, 2005

There are suddenly no options listed under the "Manage security settings for:" heading, just blank space, so I have no way to edit my Firewall, Antivirus or Windows Update settings from the Center. I opened services.msc and it shows the service started automatically.

Getting Security Warnings That My Security Settings Has Blocked?

Feb 13, 2009

I haven't been to this site for a while and I noticed I'm getting Security Warnings that my security settings has blocked of an ActiveX install. I know how to change those settings, but am reluctant to do so. Can anyone shed some light on this. I occasionally will get similar warnings on other sites, but it is consistant on this one. Once in a while IE6 will hang up on this and I'll have to got to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get out of it.

New Changes In File Security Settings

Jan 26, 2005

Recently I reinstalled XP Home Edition and XP Pro using a slipstreamed installation disk contain SP2 and the latest hotfixes. Following those installations I found that I could not easily access any Drive Image (pqi) files that were created under the newly installed operating systems. The images could be restored but only after booting from the Drive Image rescue floppies. I also was not able to open and explore any of those images using Drive Image ImageExplorer. Images created prior to these installation could be opened and restored within windows with Drive Image. To access the images created under the new OS installation I had start the Home Edition in the safe mode and the go the image file, right click and select security. Then I had to add my user name under services and then check full control. In the XP Pro system I had to disable simple file protection and then change the security settings in a similar manner. This all had to be done even though the user has full administrator rights. I've been using Drive Image 2002 for the last 2 years for backups on both Home Edition and Pro versions of XP so this behavior is something I believe is new an possible a result of security updates included in the new installations. I really need access to these images from within windows but I also need to retain simple files sharing on my XP Pro machine.

Try To Download Something / Security Settings Won't Allow It

Nov 15, 2006

Whenever I try to download something (example - the latest version of Acrobat Reader). I get a warning that says my Security Settings won't allow it. To my knowledge, nothing has been changed, and this has only been happening since I downloaded all of the latest Windows updates. I have no idea if this is related or how to fix this problem. Can someone give me a clue on what to do?

Security Settings Won't Let To Download

Apr 18, 2007

When I try to download perfectly safe stuff, I get a message saying that my security settings will not allow me download the file.I have followed advice about changing the settings etc, however when I follow any of the steps, it either won't let me perform the actions OR, the settings just bounce back to what they were before.I no longer have an Active-X bar along the top to help with downloading.I read that if these don't work:Try these two methods for changing the security..Try these two methods for changing the security settings.
Method #1
1. To lower the security setting in Internet Explorer:
2. In the browser's Tools menu, select Internet Options.
3. In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Security tab.
4. In the "Select a Web content zone" control, click the Internet icon.
5. In the "Security level for this zone" area, reset security to Medium.
6. Click OK.
Method #2

2. Select Internet Options
3. Select Security tab
4. Select Custom Level button
5. Scroll down to Downloads
6. Under File Downloads - If the File Downloads is not disabled you will not be able to download files.
To enable file downloads check the enable option. My only other option is mucking around with registry keys, which being a puter dunce and haven't a clue about anything like that, I'm not going to attempt.Is there ANYTHING else I can try (nice easy steps) that it going to allow me download stuff that I want from the internet.

Explanation Of Internet Security Settings?

Jun 24, 2005

from where I can find an explanation of what all the different settings in Internet Options > Security > Custom Level mean? I've already looked in Windows Help and on the Microsoft website but I haven't had much luck.

All I want to do is switch off some of messages like 'Do you want to run this software?' when I click on a program I've just downloaded, but I don't know which options do what.

Security Settings In IE Sp2 Stopping Download

Dec 17, 2005

I need to download Macrommedia flash. However something is stopping the download. The security bar does not even appear to ask confirmation in fact nothing happens it just will not download. I have tried disabling spywareblaster and spybot in case there is a conflict there. I have disable the pop up blocker can anyone advise. I am running XP with SP2 and windows firewall. I have attached an image of the download section which has a red x in a box which I assume is disabling an image or something.

Cant Turn On Firewall And Other Security Settings

Nov 23, 2008

My home computer hard drive died. Critical data was backed up, so I didnt lose anything important, but Im having trouble with my replacement computer.I had another serviceable WinXP computer, two years old, that had never been connected to the internet, so job one after putting it on my desk was to download AVG antivirus. I did that.But when I tried to update the virus database, AVG Control Panel said the connection failed, and I couldnt download the updates. (I can access the internet via IE7 just fine, which of course I dont want to do without adequate virus and spyware protection.) And when I checked my Security Settings, it says that the firewall is turned OFF. When I try to turn the firewall ON, the first error message says:

Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not running. Do you want to start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service?When I click Yes, the next error message says:Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service.Obviously I need instructions from a print or online manual to fix more than just the firewall problem. But Im not sure where to start looking, and what questions to ask when I get there. Some Windows users forum? This forum here? Where do I start?

Security Settings Do Not Allow Web Sites To Use ActiveX

Oct 31, 2007

When I clik on the MMA Presentation I receive the following error: "Your security settings do not allow Web sites to use ActiveX controls installed on your computer. This page may not display correctly. Click here for options�" The only thing that appears is the Information Bar. It won't allow me to clik on any options. I tried opening the webinar presentation on my laptop and it worked fine. They are both using Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2. I went into Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Security settings and changed the Active X prompts to mirror those in the laptop. But it still won't allow viewing of the presentation. In doing a Google search, one person said to look at a Microsoft support doc, and try Method# 4, Reregister DLL files that are associated with Cryptographic Services. I tried that but it still did not correct the problem.

Unable To Change IE Security Settings And USB Wont Work?

Mar 5, 2005

The settings button is greyed out. How can I fix this? Also, where can I get a USB driver? Just USB driver, modem is connected by the USB cable and sometimes I can hear this sound in winXP that its disconnected and connected again(the sound you get when you unplug/plug in a USB device). After a while of plugging /unplugging, my internet connection just disappears. The modem is working properly, I think theres something wrong with the USB driver or something.I plugged in my printer(also USB) and nothing happens, everything that uses USB doesn't work at all.

National Security Vs. Personal Security?

Nov 2, 2006

many of the security holes found in software (especially Microsoft Windows) might have been deliberately put there as back doors into our computers for easy access by our governments. I guess my question is this.Will total, absolute, 100% security ever be possible or will our government always demand a back door in? It just seems that if any back door exists, it will eventually be discovered and exploited.

Security Centre Not There?

Oct 24, 2009

I had a old computer given to me, (and I mean old, fixed it up just to do email and do letters etc, doubt it would cope with anything else) anyway I got it going and managed to load the OS on to it, (XP Pro) checked and all drivers where present so XP Pro had all the drivers (shows how old the mother board is) anyway before installing service packs etc I went to turn some bells and whistles off and configure settings as I like them. (This computer has not yet been connected to the Internet, I have not even put an Ethernet cord into it yet, so not a virus) I go into the Control Panel and there is no security centre icon there, this is the first time I have come across this. I have searched the net but only articles or forum entries I have come across have been for if malware or other nasties had been removed and then noticed the icon missing, so this does not apply to me as its a fresh install, and this computer has not been connected yet.

Ideas running through my head is maybe updating drivers, or something to do with the bios, going to check the hard drive itself tomorrow, a bit hesitant to try things unless I know its going to help other than this everything seems to be opening and closing as per usual.It just amazes me with all the installs I have done (in the hundreds +) and this is the first time I have had this happenAny ideas will be much appreciated, oh and have not loaded anything else on yet, its just the basic OS, decided not to go any further with installing of anything else till I have sorted this

How To See Security Tab In Home?

Oct 18, 2004

How Do I see the Security Tab in XP Home?This tip provided by Gilles Pion. Download the x86 (Intel) version of the Security Configuration Manager and save it to your hard disk.Double click the SCESP4I.EXE file you downloaded and extract the contents to a temporary location on your hard disk.Then open the folder you extracted the files to and locate the Setup.inf (Setup Information) file.Right click Setup.inf and select Install.After the installation is finished, reboot your computer.Adjusting the permissions on a drive, file or folder can lock even the Administrator account out of that drive/file/folder.Deny Permissions take precedence over Allow Permissions, regardless of your group membership

Is The Firewall Enough For Security?

Sep 8, 2005

I know this is an old topic, but I thought I'd try to get the latest opinions on this. I'm trying to decide whether to get another firewall. Everybody says the problem with the XP firewall is that although it controls
incoming connections, it doesn't control outgoing connections. I already have the free ZoneAlarm firewall on my Win2K computers, which works fine. And I could add it to my new XP Home Edition computer. But apparently some people complain that ZoneAlarm adds log files that grow large, etc. etc. so I figured I'd avoid adding another firewall *if* it wasn't really necessary. What's the current consensus, if any?
