File Sharing & Properties wizard will not display
I am trying to share a folder on my PC and when I highlight the folder and
right click to share the folder using the context menu, the file sharing wizard will not display. The explorer window dims as if the focus transfered to the file sharing wizard, but nothing. Same thing happens if I try the "Share this folder" on the "File and Folder Tasks" menu. This seems to happen on all folders. |

Mr.Mike,
Right-click a folder, and choose Properties. Is the Sharing tab present? If it's missing, try this command from Start, Run dialog: regsvr32 ntshrui.dll If that does not help, isolate the shell extension which is blocking the function. You may either edit the registry, or try ShellExView or ShellEx Manager utilities to track the problem. More details at: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm Ignore the title, and follow the steps mentioned under "Method 2 - using ShellExView" -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://windowsxp.mvps.org "Mr Mike" wrote in message ...

Mike,
Disable the 3rd Icon Handlers as well, for troubleshooting purposes. You can enable them later. -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://windowsxp.mvps.org "Mr Mike" wrote in message ...
