Jason, thank you for your suggestion but I don't have the security
properties tab available to me. I am guessing that this tab is missing
because I am not sharing any directories on my XP Professional workstation.

Are we supposed to enable sharing for the directory so that I can access and
modify the security properties?

Regards,

Ben
