In Windows XP, I can select Multiple files and right click them to modify
permissions in Security Tab. But in Vista, I can't see the tab when I select
multiple files and see the Properties. How can I do it like XP?

Hello,

I'm not aware of any way to do this exactly like Windows XP.

You can do so using the icacls command-line tool when using an elevated
command prompt.

To open an elevated command prompt:

- Click start
- Type: cmd
- Right-click cmd when it shows up under programs
- Click Run As Administrator

The icacls tool takes a bit of getting used to. Here's an example command
line:

icalcs *.txt /grant JimmyF)

Grants the user Jimmy full control over all text files in the current
directory.
