Sorted Thanks Neo In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Reset the value of NoPropertiesMyComputer REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1) to NoPropertiesMyComputer REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0) and all works again Right clicking My Computer - The word properties is now back again. Using the keyboard keys Winkey+Pause - works again And in Control Panel, System - works as it should do. Thanks again T9PMK

Thanks Neo Where do I alter In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer there are: (Default) REG_SZ (value not set) EditLevel REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0) NoClose REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0) NoCommonGroups REG_DWORD 0x0000000 (0) NoDriveTypeAutoRun REG_DWORD 0x00000091 (145) NoFileMenu REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0) NoMovingBands REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1) NoPropertiesMyComputer REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1) NoRun REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0) NoSaveSettings REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0) and when navigating to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer I can navigate as far as Policies, but Explorer is not there, only "NoNEnum", "Ratings" and "System".

Downloaded file, unzipped it, copied it to Windows-System32 replacing the one there. Still didn't work, I think you misunderstand me Softmobi4all When right clicking My Computer - in the list that pops up there should be at the bottom of the list the word "Properties" but is not there. When Using the keyboard keys Winkey+Pause - nothing happens. And in Control Panel, the System icon - doesn't work I don't think I need a sysdm.cpl file, what I need is the link, path or registry varibles. Thanks T9

Thanks Neo T9

Thanks softmobi4all downloaded the file, but what is a .7z extension? and what do you do with it? T9

Hi m8s This is my first post on this forum so thanks in advance for any help. Basically I have a dual boot setup, Windows XP pro (sp3) and Vista Ultimate. The Problem In my XP setup I have lost System Properties, ie: Right clicking My Computer - The word properties is missing. Using the keyboard keys Winkey+Pause - doesn't work And in Control Panel, System - doesn't work I was hoping installing sp3 would clear the problem but it didn't. Any ideas please Thanks T9PMK
