Restoring the Security Menu in Explorer

ID: Q174829

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you right-click a folder on an NTFS drive and then click Properties, one or more tabs may not be present (for example, the Security tab).

CAUSE

Some third-party programs modify the OLE automation information in the registry so that they can add or remove items in Windows NT Explorer context menus (for example, the Security tab). If the removal of the application does not properly replace the original information, normal functions within Windows NT Explorer may not be available.

RESOLUTION

You may be able to resolve this problem by restoring the registry. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.
