XP file properties

[mdbusa]

I just insatlled XP SP2 at home and use a local account with administrator properties.

there are some old files I want to delete but when I right click on the folder the security tab does not appear and thus I cannot take ownership and delete thses files which otherwise are access denied.--- I have similar files as these at work and I can take ownership and then delete.

Anyone know how I can get the security tab to appear??

BTW these ae not system files and I should be able to delete them aftetr taking ownership and giving administator full access. Theya re files generated by aborted automated SMS packages.

You need to turn off simple file sharing in the folder properties for the security tab to be enabled...
