Re: No Security Tab when Logged In as Admin

I usually don't pass along advice I haven't tried but since you
asked, here are some articles you might find helpful.

Since I've never had the need to try either of these
procedures, I can't vouch for their effectiveness. If you try
them, you're on your own.

Good luck

Thank you. I was hoping that I did not have to login in Safe
Mode,
but was hoping to see the tab in Normal bootup.

get
security tab to show when looking at file properties?

Since you're running Windows XP Home Edition, you
must start the computer in Safe Mode, and then log on with
an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the
Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot your computer
and
start tapping the F8 key as soon as you see anything
displayed
on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until the Advanced Startup
Options menu appears. Use the up and down arrow keys on your
keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit Enter.
