Removing Security Tab from Properties Windows
The Security tab can be used to modify the permissions of that file or folder. When a system is shared among multiple users, then the owner of the file would want to limit the permission for other users. However, other users can access this security tab too. They can also modify the permissions to get access to the file or even change the owner for it. It is best to remove the security tab from the properties window. This setting can be configured in the Local Group Policy Editor. However, since the Local Group Policy Editor isn’t available in all versions of Windows, we have also included the Registry Editor method.
Removing Security Tab through the Local Group Policy Editor
The Group Policy is a Windows feature that provides different types of advanced settings for the operating system. It has all those settings that cannot be found in the Control Panel or Settings app. Changing the policy setting will also change the registry values in the background. The Local Group Policy Editor isn’t designed for Windows Home users, so it is only available on Ultimate, Professional, and Enterprise versions of Windows. If you are using Windows Home, then skip to the Registry method.
Removing Security Tab through the Registry Editor
The Registry is a hierarchical database used to store information that is necessary to configure the system for one or more users. The Registry contains keys and values which are similar to the folders and files. Each value in the Registry Editor contains instructions that applications and Windows refer to. Just to be safe, you can create a backup for making any changes in the Registry Editor. Follow the below steps to remove the security tab by using the Registry Editor:
