XP user--how to change folder permissions

Have XP, when I right click a folder to start the process to change permissions my folders do not have a security tab, the only  "General, Sharing and Customize.  I need to change the read only attribute so i can scan to a network folder....Help appreciated....

=====================================
Try the following steps to display the Security tab.

Go to...Control Panel / Folder Options / View tab...
   Or...
Open any folder and go to...Tools / Folder Options / View tab...

Clear the check box..."Use simple file sharing (Recommended)"

Now right click a folder and choose Properties and you should
see the Security tab.

The following MSKB article may be worth a look:

Volunteer J's response will only work if you have Windows XP Pro (XP Home will not have an option to turn off Simple File Sharing).  If you have XP Home, then you will need to boot your computer into Safe Mode (Repeatedly tap the F8 key while your computer boots) and then log in as an Administrator user.  After doing this, you will have the Security tab showing.

xp Pro will only give you simplified file sharing. If you wish to access permissions you must be networked as a domain. If you wish to set permissions because you have multiple users using the same computer you can set the user type facility.
