One thing I noticed after making the change to NTFS, the Folder Option/View
"Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" must be turned *OFF* (un-checked).
It was enabled by default and I had left it that way because that is how I
understood your instruction. Never the less - I'm glad you mentioned the
setting; Leaving 'simple file sharing' enabled inhibits the security tab.
That you mentioned it at all lead me to the proper place where I had to make
only one alteration.

Thanks very much
