Symantec Backup Exec, the selection of user shares is disabled

Setting up backup exec 11d, I got this error:
The selection of user shares is disabled. To enable it, on the menu bar, click Tools, and then click Options. Under Job Defaults, click Network and Security, and then select the option Enable selection of user shares.
 So I follow the directions like a good little minion, only to find that this:
 Double and triple checking didn't make it any better...  Network and Security are not showing up.
After some searching I thought maybe this was because I was running Backup Exec 11d Quickstart.  But after a little more digging, I found that wasn't it at all.  It was simply a preference setting.

So back in options, I went to settings like so:
 And at the bottom of this screen there is a radial button that was on 'Simple' instead of 'Full'
User Interface mode: Simple - hide the advanced features of Backup Exec. Full - show all available features of Backup Exec
 So I changed that to full and confirmed out.  And would you look at that, Network and Security is there!
 I don't know if anyone uses backup exec 11d anymore, but if you do, I hope this was useful :)
