Let your Firewall Program (Norton Internet Security in my case), to "Allow All" for inetinfo.exe and reboot.
An easy way to see if this is potentially your problem is to look for the Status of World Wide Web Publishing Services. If it says "Starting", then you have this problem. After allowing all for "C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe" in my Firewall program settings, and rebooting, not only did my Properties Window show up again, but the
system boots much more quickly.

Hi,
I have noticed recently that I can no longer access the folder properties
tab by either right-clicking and choosing Properties or through the file
menu. I don't know how to turn on the properties tab.
Could someone please help?
Thanks
Daz
