XP Pro Security Setting

I bought a new HP PC with XP Pro pre-installed.

The only way I can view/change security rights on a file is to login under
Safe Mode.

In addition, I cannot access files on the PC or share the printer from other
PC's on the network.

What do I need to change to allow users with Administrative rights the
ability to view/change file permissions?

Is there anything in the security settings that would prohibit file/print
sharing? I can view other PC's from the HP but every time I try to access
shared files on the HP the system request a login and it will not accept the
userid/password even though they are correct.
