Missing security tab, but only for folders...

Ok, I've read everything I could find, but nothing applies to my specific
circumstance.

NTFS drive, I'm logged in as administrator, I have simple file sharing
disabled and applied to all folders.

I don't have a security tab when I do a properties on a folder, but it does
show up if I do properties for an entire drive, or on an individual file.

Sounds like a corrupt entry in the registry to me...

Note, this is a drive that was ghosted from one partition to another.

I've gone into the properties of the root drive, click on the security tab,
and made sure that administrator has full control over all children
folders/files.

What am I missing?

Thx.
