Go to Control Panel > Folder Options > View and uncheck
"Use Simple File Sharing" and click "Apply".

P.S. Your drive must be formatted NTFS.

| Hi There.
| 
| On Windows XP PRO as Administrator I'm trying to set the
| "deny access" to a drive for a particular group but the
| security tab is missing when right-click on folder and
| select "Sharing and Security...". Also I can't set it using
| Computer Management and double-clicking on D$ under "Shared
| Folders\Shares" (actually doble-clicking does nothing on
| any item there).
| 
| How can I activate back the security tab?
| 
| Thanks for your help.
