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?
