You have to be a local administrator of the computer. If you are an Administrator on the domain, you can add yourself via Control Panel --> Users and Passwords --> Add --> etc.
When you are Administrator, then you should be able to see the Security tab.

The Drive is NTfs, And it Dynamic, This is a stand alone computer, I am logging in locally with admin account,
I think you have to hack the registry to have the Security tab show up,

First you must be logged in with an account with Administrator rights.
Second and last your drive must be format in NTFS.

If you don't meet these two you'll not see the security tab.

You don`t have to <>
To display the Security tab

Open Folder Options in Control Panel. (Click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options.)

On the View tab, under Advanced settings, clear Use simple file sharing [Recommended].

Don't forget you must be admin and your drive must be NTFS.
