140253 2003-04-30 06:01:00 have windows XP Pro and NTFS partitions. When I right click a folder to change the NTFS security permissions there is no "security" tab. Where has it gone? How do I get it back?
Something inside windows has become corrupt, but what?

140255 2003-04-30 07:50:00 Try turning off Simple file sharing (From Explorer click Tools > Folder Options. From the new window click the View tab, and in the Advanced settings box scroll right to the bottom and remove the tick from "Simple File Sharing".

140257 2003-05-08 06:55:00 Hey Mike, I was going to turn that off, would that be making my Domain go weird?

Robo, I have no idea :) I wouldn't think so, but there are hidden things that turning simple file sharing off would activate, and something might cause something else to go weird... but it's only a matter of trying it to see - if it stuffs things up, turn it on again :)

Was wondering where that setting had gone since going from Win2k to XP. Now I can configure XP Users correctly.

140260 2003-05-08 09:46:00 there is a setting within file options I think its called simple file sharing if that is enabled you will not have a security tab remove the tick from this option and the security tab will be back beama (111)
