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?
