Win XP group policies

I just installed a new box at my office running XP Pro SP2. I need to be able to set some group policies on folders for different employees on the network. On another machine, arggh am I thinking of Windows 2000? Anyway, I would right click on a folder and there would be a tab where you could set user permissions for that folder. That tab is not showing up on this new XP install. I'm assuming I have to turn this feature on or something? Can anyone help?

Thanks!
 
OK, thanks for all the help I usually get here but I found the answer myself. You have to disable simple file sharing in the folder options to enable the security tab. Maybe this will help someone else.
 
First, group policy and file permissions are completely different things. Second, make sure the volume is formatted as NTFS and also make sure simple file sharing is turned off in tools, folder options.
