File sharing is working within my home LAN workgroup (WinXP Home, Win 2k and
WinME machines). All machines see each other and previously shared files
and folders. I can move files back and forth. My problem is that I on my
XP machine, I can no longer make new folders or files available or even
change the properties on already shared files and folders. If I r-click on
the file/folder, the 'Sharing and Security...' option is still there but
clicking on it seems to do nothing? Similarly, the 'Properties' option no
longer works?

Any ideas what I may have done to trigger this? and more importantly, how to
correct it?

Thanks, Bryan
 
FYI - My free trial of Norton Internet Security expired so I uninstalled
it.... Magically my properties were once again available.
