Edit the Registry to Restore Security Tab ??

Hi all,

I'm helping someone out with a problem. They seemed to have lost their security tab in Explorer Properties when they right click on their Storage Drive... i.e. E:/.

I have tried going through the local group policy editor... gpedit.msc and setting the "Remove Security Tab" to disabled and/or Not Configured. This does not bring it back.

I think editing the registry may be best and easiest. I found this article on the Vista Forums HERE however when I view the manual way's key for editing the registry via regedit in Windows 7 it is not the same path. Does anyone know if there is a .reg file to download to get this done? Or know the path in the registry and which key to edit? Will the above link's instructions work, if the path is not the same I wouldn't think so.

Thanks, I would appreciate your help.

This a question. or tutorial?

It is a question.

Thanks. I'll patiently be waiting. I appreciate your help.

Thank you, I will pass along the instructions and I will surely keep you updated on how things go.

Question though, In my windows 7 the below path in the registry doesn't fully exist. It stops at Policies... There is no Explorer, it won't expand any further.
Why is that?

Code:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSecurityTab"=dword:00000001

Ahhhh, so confirming whether an edit works in 7 the same as Vista doesn't necessarily have anything to do if the key already exists or not, huh? That is why I posted here because the Explorer key wasn't there, and I thought I'd better check before I continued.
