Just a tip I found through some exploration.

If you want to add file level security, you need to shut off that horrible simple mode interface for sharing and security. In any explorer window click on: Tools>Folder Options> View tab and scroll to the bottom. Clear the "Use simple file sharing" box and you will then be able to assign security settings to the file system. (NTFS only).
