Re: Diabled Simple File Sharing - Still Security tab!

Thanks for responding, the information you provided is good to know.

Turns out that wasn't the actual problem. I'm a little embarrassed to say
this, but I didn't set up this laptop, I won it in a charity raffle two years
ago. Because it came with XP already loaded, all this time I just assumed
the drive was NTFS. It wasn't!! When I converted it, the problem was gone.
Still, I wonder why it would switch to the File Sharing disabled sharing tab
for that setting if it couldn't execute it. I would have thought that that
setting wouldn't even appear under Tools, Options, View if XP couldn't use
it. That's what really had me stumped.

I could kick myself for not check the file system sooner. <grin>

Also scan your system for virus or spyware, as these changes don't happen on
their own. Install Adaware SE Personal, Spybot Search & Destroy, CWShredder,

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 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!
