I am running XP Pro with SP3 (as specified by Control Panel=>System).
But if I right click on a folder I see a "Sharing and Security" tab
(not a "Security" tab) but this gives no information on who has permissions.
Nor does right-clicking again, and going to Properties=>Sharing.

In both cases, I have checked "Share this folder on the network"
and "Allow network users to change my files",
and given a Share name with no spaces or unusual characters.
