Security Tab Missing

[Doug Holland]

When I right click on a file and select properties the
security tab isn't available, only General and Summary.

Does anyone know how to get the Security tab to show up?

Thanks in advance

Doug

Hi Doug,

What is your operation system? What File System do you use to this file's
disk?
I think maybe you use Fat32 file system, to enable Security Tab, use NTFS
file system.

Actually I'm using Windows XP Professional SP1 and the
NTFS file system.

The computer is also part of a workgroup and not a
domain, I've heard that might make a difference and have
found a website that states you need to disable 'Simple
File Sharing' in the Tools, Folder Options dialog.

This seemed to work.

Thanks

Doug

Hi Doug,

Thanks for your feedback.
I am glad it works. My computer is also Windows XP Professional SP1 and the
NTFS file system.
And I enabled 'Simple File Sharing' option, but I can also get the security
tab.

Anyway, I think you'd better post such question in windows group.
There will be windows system support engineer work for you. I will help you
on the developing issue.
