Missing Properties Dialog Box

When using Windows Explorer you can right click on a folder icon and select properties or sharing from the drop down list. A dialog box then pops up which allows you to set permissions etc. If I do that on my Windows 2000 server nothing happens.

Anyone else seen this and has a resolution less drastic than a reinstall of the operating system?

Anny help will be appreciated.

 

Question for you.

Have you rebooted the server?

Also is this kinda your issue?

Are you logged on as admin or have admin rights?

Are you using a FQDN for your server name in a Non Domain?
(FQDN = full qualified domain name = www.something.com or fred.smed.org) if so change it to a regular name...

Tekguy,

Thanks for the response. I have rebooted the server, I did it again today, no different.

The system does not have DFS so the other suggestion does not seem to apply.

I presume the problem is caused by something that has been installed on the server, it was OK the last time that I shared a folder for a new product. I will review what has been installed recently to see if anything has an Explorer interface.

Regards,
