Hi,
I want to share a directory in network, but when I choice a directory in
windows explorer (WE) - right mouse - then "properties" or "sharind and
security", WE doesn't show me the properties window.

the directories, which I shared before, are still shared on network.

what can I do?

Thanks

Is this Windows XP your talking about? Home or Pro?
If XP....
Is this a home network or work network? If at home, make sure your
login account is an administrator. (In control panel, User accounts,
Advdanced, Groups). If this in a work environment and you are not an
administrator, the network admin may have tightened up the group
policies to prevent P2P file sharing. Check with them if thats the
case.

Good Luck,

Trev

Nhan,

Are you running Windows XP Professional, with IIS installed? If so, see this
from Doug Knox:

Also, see "W3ext Module" paragraph in this page:

Let your Firewall Program (Norton Internet Security in my case), to "Allow
All" for inetinfo.exe and reboot.

An easy way to see if this is potentially your problem is to look for the
Status of World Wide Web Publishing Services. If it says "Starting", then
you have this problem. After allowing all for
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe" in my Firewall program settings,
and rebooting, not only did my Properties Window show up again, but the
system boots much more quickly.
