Odd folder options problem

I am trying to turn off simple file sharing, but there is one problem. In the
folder options->view tab, all of the advanced settings are there except the
"use simple file sharing" box.

Is there something you need to do to enable that?

I'm running a fresh install of XP with SP1.

Thanks in advance.

If running XP Home, that folder options setting is not available.
 
Whoops, I should have specified. I'm using XP Home. The other reply stated
that this option is unavailable in Home. I am trying to get old files from a
harddrive that are protected (Access denied). I found the article about that,
but as a I said, the "use simple file sharing" is NOT available!

Thanks for the reply, any other suggestions would be helpful!
 
Ah, I see. How can I take ownership of a protected folder then on an old
harddrive?

Thank you very much for the help.
 
Okay I got it. Sorry for the question, I just missed the first line stating I
had to be in safe mode for Home edition.

Thanks for the help.
 
You can do it in safe mode on home.
