Thanks for the feedback guys!

I tried both suggestions but still issue remains "unresolved."

I had him login to another computer and also he doesnt see the Share
tab...

Could this be an account related in the domain?
You think this has something to do with his IIS component installed?
You think it has something to do with his SQL installed?

I tried logging into the computer he logged on to I see the Share Tab.

However when I login to his very own machine (where the issue
originated) I also dont see the Share tab, both adminstrator
(locally) and my Domain credential - this is by far the most
confusing issue I have ever dealt with...

Any other ideas experts? :-)

You might run rsop.msc and see what it says.

I'm curious as to why a domain user is trying to share something himself
(your users shouldn't have admin rights) and why anything on a workstation
is being shared at all (data belongs on the servers), but that's neither
here nor there, I suppose.

Hi there,
I've got this weird error in one of my users in Windows XP Pro.

For some reason when he is trying to share a folder - right click
then properties, he's not seeing his "share/security" tab. All he
can see are "General, WebShare, & Customize" tabs.

I tried googling this and found a few forums about it but none had
resolved the issue:
http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/160486.html

I also configured his "simple sharing" under folder options but
that didnt help. His pc is WinXP Pro SP2 in an NTFS format. He is
definitely an admin of his local computer and the pc is a member of
the domain - no GPO regarding disabling the share/security tabs as
others in the domain dont have this issue. When I login using my
credentials, same thing I also dont see the Share/Security tab
which is only this issue is specific to his machine.

Can someone point me to a fix to this? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Download, unzip, and run ShellExView from:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

Look at the two entries for "Shell extensions for sharing". If
they're disabled, right-click and enable them.
