I want to enable (display) the Security tab for file/folder properties in Windows XP home editon. I've already seen this question but do not seem to have the 'Use Simple File Sharing' option available to uncheck. I've also double-checked and the file system is NTFS formatted.

Is this just a limitation of XP home edition, or is there something I can install/hack to get around this?

This page details one way (which does appear to be the only way)

Basically you download and install the Security Configuration Manager

Thanks, that did the job. The first link appears to be broken though. I googled scesp4i.exe and found this page (misec.net/forum/board/FAQ/1144075199) which has some useful instructions. – mdresser Apr 12 '10 at 21:01
