Security tab missing- tried standard fix already

W

wrw0010

I am missing the security tab on my folder properties. I have tried the
standard fix of unchecking the simple sharing box in folder options. I
have restarted and still do not have a security tab. Is there another
cause for this?

I recently upgraded several computers to xp pro from 2k and all the
others have the security tab.

Permissions are set only on drives formatted to use NTFS.

To display the Security tab
Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Folder Options
On the View tab, under Advanced settings, clear Use simple file sharing
[Recommended].

[[Specifies that simplified sharing is enabled. Simplified sharing lets you
share folders with everyone on your workgroup or network and make folders in
your user profile private. However, if simplified sharing is enabled, you
cannot prevent specific users and groups from accessing your shared folders.
Clear this check box if you want to set folder permissions for specific
users and groups.]]

[[Note You cannot turn off simple file sharing in Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition.]]

[[If simple file sharing is enabled, you see the simple file sharing user
interface appears instead of the Security and Sharing tabs. By default,
this new user interface is implemented in Windows XP Home Edition and in
Microsoft Windows XP Professional if you are working in a workgroup. If you
turn off simple file sharing, the classic Security and Sharing tabs appear,
and you can specify which users and groups have access to shared folders on
your computer. ]]

If you enable this setting, users opening the Properties dialog box for all
file system objects, including folders, files, shortcuts, and drives, will
not be able to access the Security tab. As a result, users will be able to
neither change the security settings nor view a list of all users that have
access to the resource in question.

If you disable or do not configure this setting, users will be able to
access the security tab.]]

Check settings here...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\Explorer
If there is no NoSecurityTab listing then this is not the problem.
Value Name: NoSecurityTab

After installation a new Win XP proffessional on the computer without network (VIA PM233 with disabled integrated netcard) I can't reassign previous docs to "new" old user of group "Users": as administrator I have access to this "old" folder and all documents, but the classic "Security and Sharing" tab is missing.
Drive use NTFS, "Use simple file sharing" is unmarked, etc. in accordance with http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307874
Right away installation WinXP I made setup drivers (VIA 4-in-1 & INF-file & audio-, videodriver). This is cause?
Have you a new idea?

Hi Alexander,

What's with the Cyrillic characters on the fourth tab in ClipBoard-3.png?
Is that the Summary tab? I'm guessing that you're Russian. GMT +0300, your
name and the Cyrillic characters.

But why both English and Cyrillic?
