How can I hide the security Tab of files, folders and drivers properties, from users so that they cannot change these security settings that I have made.?

Set the security on the folders high enough so the normal users do't have the rights to CHANGE the security!
On Win2K, there is an Advanced Security right called Change Permission. Don't let normal users have this right on the folders/files you areconcerned about.

This way makes users cannot share folders.I just want to hide this security Tab.
I tried denying READ PERMISSION, but also it leads to the same disabling the Sharing Tab.

You don't need to hide security tab. Don't allow users to make changes as you see in answer1.

There is a conflict: if you whant allow users to makes share you must allow also to set the permissions for these share. You can't create share without permissions.
Shares can create only Domain admin and Local admin by default. All your users can create shares?
Maybe you can describe with more detail what you whant in fact.

Thanks for your quick reply.
Actually I need to prevent all workstation(Windows 2000 professional) users from changing or totally viewing the security properties of a file/folder, meanwhile they needs sharing some folders between eachothers.
Some users go on editing these security settings trying to prevent the domain admins from having a full control on their drives or folders.
