Re: Security Tab no longer showing



Thank you very much Jenny, that has indeed restored the Security tab - I
ended up having to use the final solution (regsvr32 rshx32.dll) as I had
already tried the others with no success

I should also remember to put in any future calls that the disks are NTFS,
McAfee Anti Virus and Anti SpyWare are installed, running and up to date!!

Thanks again
Graham
