It sounds like you're using Windows XP.
To enable the security tab you must disable simple file sharing.
To do this, open any windows explorer window and choose Folder Options from
the Tools dropdown menu.
Then go to the View tab.
Scroll to the bottom of the list and uncheck the Use Simple File Sharing
checkbox and click the OK button.
