Unable to share folder or view folder properties in Explorer

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I'm running Windows XP Professional (SP2 is installed). When I select
either "Sharing and Security" or "Properties" on any folder nothing happens!
I am only able to share my drive "C" and "D" - which I do not want to do!!
I
am logged in with an Administrator account so should have full rightsd etc.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem.

Don't trip, I make so many errors with just about
everything I do that I like to point out other people's,
even if they were minor and irrelevant. I guess it makes
me feel good about myself?

I don't know why, but the WWW-Publishing service was the whole time on
starting. I have stopped the two services IIS and WWW-Publishing and now
all works again.
