Enable Security tab in Explorer folder properties for windows XP home edition

This page details one way (which does appear to be the only way)

Basically you download and install the Security Configuration Manager

According to (http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/49800-security-tab-acls-in-xp-home-yeah/) there are two more ways to do this thing, without having to download something Windows XP Home does natively (although only in Safe Mode). Quoting the user's (KJxp) answer:

1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Option and set a DWORD value named OptionValue to 1. This takes effect immediately. However, if you restart with this value still in, Windows will function, but it won't load Visual Styles and other normal-mode-only things. It's best to just use a .reg file to set it to 1 when you want the tab functionality.

2. Easier yet is a patch: http://www.rt-sw.de/en/freeware/freeware.html It changes ONE BYTE in rshx32.dll (a backslash to a space at 0x9F0), saves it under a new .dll name, and registers it (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1F2E5C40-9550-11CE-99D2-00AA006E086C}\InProcServer32). This also takes effect immediately, and works perfectly in SP2!

The first solution should "enable" the Safe Mode functions. Since display drivers are already loaded, it would only convert the system in Safe Mode after the next restart. The second solution has a dead link, but the user explains the process, so it should be easy to replicate with a hex editor.

Since these solutions are somewhat obscured by the scesp4i.exe solution, I thought this would be a good place to divulge them. After all, why install something if the OS does it right off the box?
