Sharing and Security

I have 2 machines my desktop machine and my laptop.

They are acting differently as far as sharing and security.

When I right-click my folders on my desktop, I get the following tabs:

General
Sharing
Web Sharing
Customize

But no Security tab.

If I do this on my laptop I get:

General
Security
Customize

On my laptop I can go to the security tab and set up users and permissions
but not on my Desktop which doesn't have this.

Why is that? Both are XP SP2.

Thanks,

Tom
