Win2k Pro logged on as Administrator. When I right click (in Windows explorer) on any folder and choose properties no dialog box displays. Nothing happens. If I right click a file and choose properties the dialog does display. How can I get back theproperties dialog box for folders?

I haven't see that when logged in as local administrator. I'd say you have yourself a faulty installation, something has gone funny. Try re-applying whatever service packs you can get your hands on, if that fails, I'd re-install. I doubt you'll findan answer, check out technet for any hints.

There is something wrong in the IIS portion of the setup. I have heard from others who have the same problem, so I know that this is not a singular event.

The answer is uninstall IIS (Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, Windows Components). Then all the property dialog boxes reappear.
