There is a Group Policy option that can hide the security tab that would
hide it for all files on the computer. Look under user
configuration/administrative templates/Windows components/Windows explorer -
hide security tab. Set that to disabled in local Group Policy [gpedit.msc]
or whatever Group Policy that is applying to the user that you are logging
on as. You can use the Resultant Set of Policy mmc snapin on that server to
see what Group Policies and what settings are being applied to that computer
and user. Also the security tab will not appear if the user does not have
read permissions to the Rshx32.dll file in the %systemroot%\system32 folder.
You can also view and manage security permissions with command line
utilities such as cacls and xcacls.vbs and my favorite is fileacl. Both
xcacls.vbs and fileacl can also change ownership of folders or files. ---
