Unable to change folder properties

[rtrammel]

Windows XP Pro SP-1

I don't know when it started, but for some reason, I can
longer change folder properties. Right clicking on a
folder gives the context menu, and Properties is at the
bottom of the list, but selecting Properties does
nothing. The Properties window does not open. There is
probably a setting in the registry somewhere that tells
Windows not to open the properties window, but I have no
idea where it is. If any can help, please do.

If you have Internet Information Services installed, go to Add/Remove =
Programs, Windows Components. Remove and reinstall IIS.

I removed IIS as directed and this solved the problem.
Thank You very much!
