Open My Computer to (C:). On the Tools menu, click Folder Options. On
the View tab, and turn off "Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)".


The poster has XP Home edition which is permanently in simple
sharing mode and cannot be switched out (without a hack).
This is similar to how Home edition does not provide access to
the Local Security Policy application (and afaik no hack to change
one has ever become generally available).

Unfortunately the only way I have found to be able to access this tab is
by
booting in safe mode, which is inconvenient to say the least. Is there
anyway
to get to this tab outside of safe mode?
