use simple file sharing is missing

P

PETER tHOMAS

I hope this is the right group to ask. In the
tools/folder options/view I seem to be missing the 'use
simple file sharing check box. Also does any one know
where I can get a simple set of defaults for setting
file/security settings when I am logged in as
administrator.

I am running windows XP Home with NTFS file system.

Many thanks ............. Peter

In XP Home, you cannot disable Simple File Sharing. To access the full Security tab boot the computer into Safe Mode, and log in with the built in Administrator account.
