Enable Sharing & Security Tab - Windows

Sometimes you want to share a folder or to implement\change some security settings or access rights but you wonder, in folder properties, where the Security tab is? It could happen to you even if you have administrator rights. Here are few simple steps to solve the problem.

So to see and unhide the Security tab, just use the following steps:
1. Launch Windows Explorer or My Computer.
2. Click on the Tools at the menu bar, and then click on Folder Options.
3. Click on View tab.
4. In the Advanced Settings section at the bottom of the list, uncheck and unselect (clear the tick) on the “Use simple file sharing (Recommended)” check box.
5. Click OK.

Security tab is available only to Administrator or users with administrative rights. So make sure you login as one. And security can only be set in an NTFS partition. If you’re still having problem to reveal or display the Security tab on files or folder properties, check out the following registry hack and set the value to 0 or simply delete the key:
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Name: Nosecuritytab
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

I hope it works for you..
