Mine is NTFS, and the value is set to 0 (but I also tried 1).
Disconnected the drive, remapped, still no tab.
Another mapped drive on same NAS is showing the tab so it’s got me stuffed.

I have a network drive, mapped as Y. No security tab but other mapped network drives have the security tab. I have tried the above 3 methods.
Regedit had no explorer listed in the policies, in fact nothing. Similar with GPedit. Command line added the Explorer and Nosecuritytab to the registry, and it is set to 0, but still no security tab in the server mapped drive. Oh what a feeling – Windows!!!!!
I have been transferring files within the directory (from subdirectories to the main directory) ok and suddenly, File Explorer wants permission to carry access the main directory. it’s just another keystroke to get over it, but when you have lots of files

In reply to Aaron Estevez. You should delete the current partition and create it again and then format it as NTFS.

In reply to Usman Khurshid. Usman, the issue is that I cannot format my FAT32 external drive to the NTFS version. It shows up with half the drive as unallocated, and it doesn't let me format it. Any suggestions?

In reply to Aaron. Aaron, security features are not available in FAT32 filesystem. To enable security features, you will need to format your external drive to NTFS filesystem.

So I have a FAT32 external drive that I’m trying to put a clone of my hard drive onto. I did that clone, but my C drive is NTFS, so now I can’t access the external drive’s security tab. Can anyone suggest how I fix this and get access to the drive FAT32 drive?

In reply to shawket Zahir. Please check to see if your C Drive is NTFS. If the drive formatting is FAT32 or XFAT then the security tab will not appear as it is only connected to NTFS file system.

I think the instructions for modifying the registry are incorrect. The value of NoSecurityTab should be 0 if you want the security tab, and 1 if you do not.
