I have a new installation of Windows 2000 Pro. If I right click any drive or folder in windows explorer, then click Properties, nothing happens ... nothing at all. Properties ARE visible if I do the same with these objects: My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places, Recycle Bin and Internet Explorer.
This PC has SP4 and all the other current goodies from MS. I'm logged on as an administrator.
Many thanks to anyone who can help ... Ari

if you just upgraded the OS, sounds like you have FAT rather than NTFS formatting. NTFS is required for folder security etc... dont know about properties on the other things you mention as have never actually used FAT. try creating a partition using NTFS and see if that allows properties.... (backup first!)
