I have Windows Xp Home Editition Service Pack 1 Version 2002 and I used to be able to share folder by roght clikcing the folder and click Properties and go to the Sharing tab, but a while ago the sharing tab disappeared and now I can't share any new folders. I searched the internet and everybody say that you have to go to folder options and then go to view and diable simple file sharing, but when I go to Folder options there is to Simple File sharing option

I 'think' Simple File Sharing is for XP Pro.

When you right click on a folder, don't you get a "Sharing and Security' option in the drop down menu?

Sorry, I do not check for private messages

yea. In Windows Explorer when I go to a fold I see the Share this folder Task, but when I click it it just goes to the Folder Properties.
