Folder Properties window won't open...

[jg]

Hi,

I'm running Windows XP SP2. I seem to be having a problem when in Windows
Explorer. If you right click on a folder and select Properties, nothing
happens. The Folder Options window (where you can select to make the folder
and it's contents read-only, for example) simply does not open.

Can somebody please give me an idea as to what might be going on and perhaps
a way to fix this? BTW, I am the administrator on my PC. So I don't think
this is a permissions problem...

thanks for any help!

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers

Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled

Right click causes an error and crashes Explorer.exe after installing
Windows XP SP2
