So close to using vista for work but when i tried it, i ran into the 1st
problem in less then 10 minutes. Why is there no security tab when right
click and go to properties on more then 1 folder at a time. Is there a policy
that is doing this? Is there a way around it? Was this done intentionally? Im
about o loose my hair and im only 21. Help.
 
Haven't noticed this myself (until I read your post and tried it myself!),
but Vista as a client OS this function isn't so interesting as it is on a
server.

I cannot answer if it was done intentionally, but I do know a way around it,
use cmd command icacls (cacls in XP)
with icacls you can set folder permission on more then one in the same
command.

By using this tutorial, you can use the context menu to right click on
a folder (containing other folders and files) and take ownership of the
objects allowing you to make whatever changes you'd like to make. Here's

I hope this helps.
