"Sharing and Security" is just a shortcut to the "Sharing" and "Security" tabs of the Properties dialog box. Go to the bottom and select "Properties"; you should get a dialog box with four tabs, "General", "Sharing", "Security", and "Web Sharing". For an object to be visible on the network, you have to set up sharing--this allows it to be shared, and describes who from the network has permissions to use it (choices are Full control, Change, and Read). But that's not enough. Once you've let them "in the door" with Sharing, you have to describe what the user they've connected as can *do* to/with the object. That's under the Security tab. There you can change, add, or remove users in the "Group or user names" box. IF you don't see a Security tab, go to Start->My Computer, then click Tools->Folder Options in the top of the resultant dialog box. Click the "View" tab, scroll to the bottom of the "Advanced Settings", and turn off "Use simple file sharing".
