1.   Click Start, and then point to All Programs. Point to Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, and then click Deployment Workbench.

2.   In the Deployment Workbench console tree, go to Deployment Workbench/Deployment Shares/deployment_share/node_or_folder (where deployment_share is the name of the deployment share in which you will modify the folder and node_or_folder is the name of the node or folder that contains the folder to be modified).

3.   In the details pane, click folder_name (where folder_name is the name of the folder you want to modify).

4.   In the Actions pane, click Properties.

The folder_name Properties dialog box opens (where folder_name is the name of the folder to be modified).
