Hi every body,
On my laptop I have Windows XP Professional SP2. When I right-click on any folder or file then click on Properties I don't see the Security Tab. Is this a problem on my System or there is a specific way to allow the Security tab to appear?

See the attached picture.


Thanks in advance.

I think thats normal-- there's only certain programs that give that security window that your describing... I believe.

Hi Abdulrahman Al-Dowsary...

Sounds like you have simple file sharing enabled. If your computer is NOT joined to a domain, and the "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" box is checked under the View tab in Folder Options, you are presented with the Simple File Sharing UI instead of the classic Security and Sharing tabs, except when booting to Safe mode.

Make sure this is disabled (no check in the box), Apply the change, and reboot...the Security tab should then be visible.

Thanks a lot wannabe1. I appreciated your perfect answer.

You're right, the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) checkbox, under the View tab in Folder Options, was checked. Just disable this option (clear the checkbox) then press OK & that’s it. The Security tab has been appeared without reboot.

Glad I could help!
