MULTIPOSTED! in microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin
Besides clearing the checkmark for Use simple file sharing [Recommended] in
Folder Options...
The sharing tab is not visible if you are logged on to a machine with an
account that does not have adequate rights.
The sharing option is not available for the Documents and Settings, Program
Files, and WINDOWS system folders. In addition, you cannot share folders in
other user's profiles.
Also. . .
The Sharing tab is not visible....
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click: Server service |
Set Startup type to: Automatic | Click Apply | Click the Start button |
When it has started, click OK
If you do not see the Server service..........
This will restore the Server Service (lanmanserver).
Open Network Connections, click Start, point to Settings, click Control
Panel, and then double-click Network Connections. | Right click Your
Connection | Properties | General tab | Install button | Highlight: Service
| Add button | Highlight: File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks |
OK | Close
Check settings here...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\Explorer
and/or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\Explorer
If there is no NoSecurityTab listing then this is not the problem.
Value Name: NoSecurityTab
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 0 or 1
0 = Security tab will be visible
1 = Security tab will not be visible
Group Policy is only available with XP Pro.
Open Group Policy...
Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc | Click OK |
Navigate to...
Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer\
Remove the Security tab
Set to Not Configured or Disabled.
Remove the Security tab
[[Removes the Security tab from Windows Explorer.
If you enable this setting, users opening the Properties dialog box for all
file system objects, including folders, files, shortcuts, and drives, will
not be able to access the Security tab. As a result, users will be able to
neither change the security settings nor view a list of all users that have
access to the resource in question.
If you disable or do not configure this setting, users will be able to
access the security tab.]]

Leon Myerson <LeonMyerson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I've lost the Security tab I should see when I right click a folder and
click Sharing and Security. I've tried going through Tools, Folder
Options, View, and then unchecking the Use simple file sharing box. But
still no security tab!
I've done this repeatedly, switching it back and forth. No dice. I've
rebooted repeatedly, still nothing. I've tried system restore back to a
point in time when I think everything worked, and it tells that nothing
has actually changed, so there's nothing to restore.
One other weird thing, the Sharing tab I do get has nothing on it about
sharing anything on the local computer, there are only controls for a
network share, including how many users are allowed. This doesn't match
any textbook I have, and I don't know where it's coming from.
One final bit of weirdness, for several hours I've been unable to to
access this newsgroup's editor to post this message. I'm doing it now
from an old Windows 98 machine with no problem whatsoever, over the exact
same connection. I've also had Internet Explorer suddenly tell me that
the page I want isn't available offline, that I should use my dial-up
connection. I'd go out to the command prompt, Ping something like
yahoo.com, that would work fine, and then the browser would settle down
and recognize the proper connection to the local gateway and DSL modem.
Any ideas? I've spent hours searching Knowledge Base, and I just keeping
getting the same old crap about turning off simple file sharing. HELP!

One really weird thing, the Sharing tab I do get when Simple File Sharing
is disabled IS the one that should be there. Its the one that has
nothing on it about sharing anything on the local computer, there are
only controls for a network
share, including how many users are allowed. If I enable Simple File
Sharing again, I get the correct Sharing tab for that, the one that has
both local and network sharing options. So apparently the system is
switching between Simple File Sharing enable/disable, its just not
showing me the Security tab when it does!
Any ideas? I've spent hours searching Knowledge Base, and I just keeping
getting the same old crap about disabling Simple File Sharing. HELP!
