o "Simple File Sharing" checkbox in SP2?

[Adzoe]

My C drive crashed and I did a clean install of XP home SP2. Now files
on my J drive in my graphics folder and some My Documents files give
access denied messages. I have no security tab available in
properties, and in Tools, View, there is nothing about simple file
sharing . How do I give my administrator account access to all of
my files?

You cannot enable/disable simple file sharing in XP home edition. The option
is not available.
To access the security tab you boot to Safe Mode.

You can take ownership of your files like so:
