I screwed up my MBR, so I moved the disk to the slave position and used another disk to boot. Everything works fine, but I can't access my old Documents and Settings user directory. I checked the faq and tried to disable simple file sharing so I could get to the security tab on the directory properties page, but the menu items the faq mentions aren't there for me.

I hit Start then My Computer
On the tools menu, I clicked Folder Options and then the View tab.
Next, it says to go to Advanced Settings, but there is no such option for me.

When I right click on my user directory in Documents and Settings (on the old hard drive) and click Properties, I don't see a Security tab.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd really like to get access to my old user directory...

Here's the document I was using:
