In order to have access to the Security tab, you need to
disable simple file sharing.

To disable simple file sharing, follow these steps:
1. Go to Start - Control Panel and double click Folder
Options.
2. Click on the View tab.
3. In the Advanced Settings section, clear the "Use simple
file sharing (Recommended)" check box.
4. Click OK.

The Security tab shows up when Simple File Sharing is disabled...
Control Panel Folder Options View Uncheck Use simple file sharing
