Missing Security Tab

[Rob]

When I right click on a folder or file and choose
properties, the security tab is missing. I have searched
thru the help topics and have tried to recover it by
rebooting to the last known good configuration. This was
the only thing I could find in help concerning this and
it didn't work.

Is there any way to recover this tab (registry entry)?
I'm using WindowsXP Pro on a peer to peer network and all
updates are applied.

Thanks,
Rob

Go to Control Panel > Folder Options > View and uncheck
"Use Simple File Sharing" and click "Apply".
