cannot access folder security settings
I have file sharing set up on my xp pro laptop. However for reasons unknown
I now have no access to where the folder and file access settings. Any help would be appreciated. I have scanned the system with WOC, Symantec, MS spyware and Spybot S&D in normal mode and with mcafee, KAV and Spybot from safe mode command prompt and turned up nothing. Jon

Your post is quite unhelpful.

cannot access folder security settings
I would need to go back about 3 weeks, What I am trying to do is change who
can access folders and drives as well as the read/write/change permissions. The security tab is missing from the folder properties and/or the security and sharing tap.

cannot access folder security settings
Go to windows explorer, Tools menu, choose Folder Options, click the view
tab, at the bottom uncheck USE SIMPLE FILE SHARING. You should have your security option back.
