SP2 - Can't View Properties on Folders

[Guest]

Hi,

I just installed SP2 and everything went well. At least no lost data or
corruption!

I do have a question. Is there a change in SP2 that prohibits you from
viewing the properties of a folder after R-Clicking on it? This works fine
on an individual file or a shortcut to a folder but not from the folder
itself.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Carl,

Without knowing more, try line 207 (right hand side)

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for the link. I wasn't able to find a solution though.

I can R-click on a folder to get the drop-down menu. I can do everything on
the menu EXCEPT view properties for a folder. The option is available but
nothing happens when I click there. I can view properties on a shortcut to
the same folder or an individual file but not at the folder level.

I also have a second issue I can't address. Spybot - Search & Destroy
refuses to work now to remove spyware. It worked fine before SP2. This is a
lesser concern to me but at some point I need to decide to keep SP2 or try to
remove it.

I really want to keep SP2 installed but SP1a was working fine. I just don't
want to be fighting this forever.

Thanks again for your help!
Carl
