Access Folder Properties

[Andrew P. Teebay]

When I <Right_Click> a folder on my C: drive in explorer
and then select either 'Properties' or 'Sharing and
Security' nothing happens. IF I try 'Properties' from
the 'File' menu again nothing happens.

'Properties' and/or 'Sharing and Security' work fine for
the root 'C:\', for folders in remote shares and files on
C:.

Whats gone wrong

I'm running XP Pro. It makes no diference if I
have 'Simple File Sharing' on or off. This is a recent
proplem as I have been able to access this in the past.
The only change that I have made (that I know of) is to
get SQL MSDE working. This should not affect things!
should it?

Did you update MSDE after installing it to make sure you
were patched against the Slammer worm ?
