Security Tab Missing

I don't have it either in my Home Premium 64bit, that might be for Pro and Ultimate.

Have you tried this tutorial?

Security Tab - Add or Remove from Properties

Thanks, but I figured out the problem - the hard disk was FAT32, and the Security tab is only an option on NFTS. The "Use Simple File Sharing" is the same as "Use Sharing Wizard (Recommended)" after all.

At least you figured it out, thanks for posting back.

Thankfully, I decided to dive into the registry and after doing a bit of research, found out the GUID of the Security tab.


The steps I took to resolve this are as follows:

1. Open regedit.exe
2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\ShellEx\PropertySheetHandlers
3. Add a new key with the name below:
   
   {1F2E5C40-9550-11CE-99D2-00AA006E086C}

After doing this, the security tab should appear.

A .reg file has been attached.

Thanks a lot for this!.
