    I believe that if you click on Tools, Folder Options, View and uncheck "Use
    simple file sharing (recommended)" in the list that is displayed you will
    see the NTFS security tab display in standard operating mode. This should
    allow you to set permissions on a file/folder without the need to go into
    safe mode.

    This is the case in XP Professional anyway - I have never used XP Home
    edition, but I would assume it is the same.

    regards,
    Chris
