You can also access Folder Options, View Tab, uncheck last box (Use Simple File Sharing)

The + hint doesn't work. It could however be extreamly nice, compared to the other work around. " http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290403 ...

i tried both of these and still do not have a security tab. are there any other known issues with this?

Actually if you go to the Tools-->Folder Options-->View And uncheck Simple File sharing, then you won't have to hold the control key at all. That's what MS has on thier site. Cheers!

tried it , didn't work , yes i'm in a workgroup , xp pro corp

I have XP Professional at work joined to a domain and I still had to use the Ctrl key to view the Security tab.

In Windows XP, Goto windows explorer -> Tools -> Folder option -> uncheck the Use Simple File Sharing. I think thats will solve the problem.

You do not have NTFS disks open a command prompt and enter this command convert driveletter:/FS:NTFS.
