The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

tab, missing, sharing, windows, explorer

No security tab (Sharing or customize tab) when I right click any folder: therefore I cannot share/change icons, etc
Windows XP home sp2
I followed directions in this post: http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=101&threadID=203315&messageID=2114895
by user  BlackCurrant where he had the same problem.   Here is what I have tried

Convert compter from 32bit to NTFS
unchecked file explorer/advanced options so it does NOT use simple view
checked Registry - can't see anything new there under explorer
Rebooted in safemode and security tab did not show up there in properties
Of course, made sure I am an administrator.  I had deleted my other administrative profile and perhaps that is part of the problem.

I can NOT find any link in administrative tools for my policy editor nor will it show up in the run menu with gpedit.msc like I have at work.  

Any other ideas?  I just want my tab back!

Thanks in advance,

James
