Well, ain't I a dumb*ss? I was too busy expecting it to look like it does in ME. Yeah, I notice the difference now.

please let me know if you need more assitance in setting up permissions. make sure when you share a folder use only names up to 11 characters using only numbers and letters and the dash (-). do no use apostrphe ('), spaces, ect. this is only for win98 and winME compatabilty. if you do not have them ignore this.

from that screen shot it looks like you dont have NTFS set up and thats why you wont get the security tab hope that helps

your using the FAT file system instead of NTFS. NTFS is what gives you the security tab because FAT has no folder/file security permissions of course if you convert your existing partition to NTFS your windows 98/95/ME comps wont be able to read it
