I was on a Windows XP machine and needed to access file security settings for a certificate file but the Security tab was missing.

To make the tab available I did the following:

1. Launch Windows Explorer or My Computer.
2. Click on the Tools > Folder Options.
3. Click on View tab.
4. In Advanced Settings uncheck the “Use simple file sharing (Recommended)” check box.
5. Click OK.

Note: If that doesn’t work try clicking on “Apply to ALL Folders”. The result should be a restored Security tab.
