    My COmputer/Properties not showing up in XP
    Hello all,

    I've been facing this issue, whenever I right click My COmputer and Properties, only 2 folder tabs show up, they are General,Shortcut. I don't know what on earth happened to the other tabs? It has been like this since the time of installation.

    So can anyone guide me in the right direction to restore them back.

    Thanks in advance,

    Sai

    Well seeing that you are clicking on a SHORTCUT to my computer and NOT the My Computer icon this is to be expected.

    What happens when you try the same from the start bar ?

    I checked what u mentioned: When I right click Start and select Properties, its showing up Taskbar / Start Menu Properties.

    Now coming to the point, this is not what I'm expecting. I was earlier getting some other tabs such DeviceManager etc. Can't remember though what exactly.

    Yes, I'm talking about Right Clicking the Shortcut icon of the My Computer on the desktop. It used to show up other folder tabs under properties menu.

    I hope I'm clear with my query.

    You have completely missed my point.
    The icon you are clicking on is a SHORTCUT and NOT the official My Computer icon.

    Now in Start button there normally is a My Computer link.
    Right click that one.

    Ok I got it, what u mentioned... I created a short cut from this My Computer onto the desktop and it does show what I was missing all these days.

    Thanks for the insight and guidance.

    Thanks once again.

    Cheers.
