Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit... when I go into Component Services and expand computers and right-click on My Computer and choose properties, the Options tab has a disabled Enable partitions option that I have not been able to figure out how to enable. Windows 7 'help' indicates that it can be available (by virtue of not saying anything to the contrary), nor can I found any security/group policy setting to enable/disable this.

The only thing I've found on Microsoft's site about documents it as not being available only for WinXP and Win2000 (again suggesting that Win7 should be good).

Any thoughts or ideas? It's always possible that it's not available on Windows 7, but I've not even found anything that confirms this either.

(might be worth noting that this same question's been asked over in stackoverflow a few months ago by a different user, but has attracted little activity. I'm thinking this community may be a better forum for this query).
