One little item that's been overlooked in this discussion is
the possibility that the OP is running XP Home Edition on her
computer. She's never going to see a Security tab unless she
boots into Safe Mode. Even if she's running XP Pro, she's got
to disable Simple File Sharing in order to gain access to the
Security tab.

Also, instead of using Deny to restrict access she'd be better
off removing permissions for the Everyone group and only leave
the Administrators group with Full Control permissions. These
permissions should be setup at the folder level, not for
individual files.
