James,
Windows XP Home Edition uses Simple File sharing and the security tab will not be visible. In order to see the Security tab and configure advanced permissions, you need to boot into Safe Mode and login as Administrator. Now, access the Security tab and take ownership of the required folders. For Windows XP Professional, disable Simple File Sharing in order to view the Security tab. Open Folder Options, View, Uncheck "Use Simple File sharing".
As an alternative, you can use the CACLS command and reset the permissions. Type CACLS in a Command Prompt window to know the parameters it supports.
