SP2 Folder Properites Dialog will not show

[S. Ellan]

I have installed XP SP2 on all three of my computers. On all three,
the File Properites dialog fails to show up at all. It will for
individual files, but not Folders. It also show up for "My Computer".
Is anyone else having this problem?

If this is happening after you upgraded to SP2, the Kelly tweak won't work,
in my experience and as reported by others.

Try the following work around, suggested to me by Bobby Mikkleson:

Try booting into Safe Mode with Network support and then access the
folders. This will most likely allow you to change the folder properties.

Unfortunately, when you reboot in normal mode, you still won't be able to
change the folder properties, but they will retain the settings you made in
Safe Mode.
