Security Tab Missing

[Ian W]

Unusual problem - on our Windows 2000 SBS, the Security
tab has disappeared (when we right-click the folder and
select Properties) on every folder on the server. I'm
guessing a Registry entry must have gone missing or been
corrupted.

Anyone any idea what entry controls this and how we put
it back?

Hope you can help.

i think you did not logged in with the Administrator account
or as a member of the Administrators account
and you have no access to read the security persmissions

Nope - logged on as Administrator!! No Group Policy
settings implemented either so not that! Just the tabs
missing...

I have to ask, are you sure the file system isn't fat?

The server is a 2U rack mount dually Athlon with 5 x 36GB
10000rpm SCSI drives on a dual channel Adaptec
controller. The C:\ is on a mirror pair (RAID-1)
implemented in software and formatted using Windows 2000
NTFS defaults. The D:\ is a 3-disk RAID-5 array again
implemented in software and formatted using Windows NTFS
defaults. Both confirm 'File Type: NTFS' in Disk Manager.

Accessing the explicit shares on the server from the
Computer Management snap-in gives me access to the
security tab but only for those folders explicitly
shared. From an Explorer view or My Computer view there
are no security tabs so I cannot alter security settings
on, for example, an individual user's folder.

These things used to work dammit! (Last time I used them
was several months ago - no need to change anything
since). Only things changed on server have been patches
added via Windows update.

Thanks for the thought but this only applies to XP Pro on
the desktop, I think. This option is not available in
Windows 2000 Server.

Cheers
