Are you perchance using XP home? In which case the security tab is only available when in safe mode.

Is this XP Home or XP Pro? XP Home does not have the security tab. If you have XP Pro, then you need to disable simple file sharing in order to see the security tab. If this is XP Home, you can use command line tools such as cacls to modify security. You might also want to take a look at http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_home_sectab.htm. -- Tom Porterfield

Is this WinXP Home, or WinXP Pro with Simple File Sharing enabled? If the former, that's by design; if the latter, simply disable Simple File Sharing. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. -Bertrand Russell
