The two options which seem to be inactive are

Shares & Security....
Properties.....

I have limited occasions where the 'file search' functionality returns zero
results.

All other menu options seem to work.

I have checked & cleaned the system using Ad-aware, Spybot and Hijack-this -
there are no strange running processes. I haven't installed any new software
recently - I have tried moving back to previous restore points to no avail.

I have 3 user profiles which get used on the system - 1 Admin & 2 limited
accounts.

Since I made the initial post I have noticed sometimes the options function
for a short while after a reboot.

Thanks
Steve
