I am using XP Pro SP2.

I am attempting to reduce the permissions on a folder on Drive D (a second
hard drive).
I am logging on as administrator and have full control over the D; drive and
all subfolders. When I right click on the folders within the drive and click
Properties nothing happens, no error messages no dialogues etc.

This seems to be true of most (if not all) folders in my system.

I can access properties for the files.
 
Problem solved.
This problem is due to Norton Internet Security & Antivirus 2005. There is a
setting - Protect My Product - in options. Setting this on prevents access to
the properties dialogue (presumably to prevent changing of permissions).

Turning this feature off and restarting seems to cure the problem.

I think you can make your permission changes, turn the Protection back on
and restart if you want Product Protection - but i woulld make no promises on
this.

This worked for me - but has not been acknowledged as an issue by symantec.

Carl.
