Using Explorer, I want to share a folder. After right clicking on the folder
I left click "Sharing and security..." and wait for the tabbed window to
appear (as it used to before), but it never appears. This problem suddenly
started and it is most annoying since I regularly share folders on my
network. Note that it is not only "Sharing and security..." that is the
problem, but also when I want to see "Properties" of a folder. Why do I have
this problem and how do I solve it? I don't know if it matters, but I'm using
file advanced sharing.
 
I don't have an answer for you as I am having the same problems. I have three
xp home computers and the networking control for file sharing is very buggy.
I wish I had an admin tool that would let me check the network. I am going
out to techtv, tucows etc and the public newsgroups to see if the "real
world" has any tools for this product. Drives me crazy with error mesages
that mean nothing and I have not installed SP2. I have been badly burned
trying to fix networking problems with a service pack before. Sort of
shooting a fly with the shotgun, you get the fly but the wall is trashed.
Good luck
