    The question you ask has no answer. Why? Because you are not being specific with what's causing the problem. There isn't a one fix for everything....

    Thanks for your response Morph.

    I don't have a problem in xp, is just that I read in another thread that there is folder fix function?? that can be used instead of windows restore. Is that correct?? I mean, Is that so?? Because I never new of it, and at the time I read it sounded worth trying (if needed).

    But for what you're saying is just windows restore, right??

    Thanks again.
    :D

    That depends on the problem. I steer people away from using System Restore or a Repair install unless it's absolutely necessary. You can lose valuable information/files/updates...installed programs...etc.

    Folder properties have default settings. You can also reset all the folders in a drive to it's default settings by clicking on Tools, Folder Options, Restore Defaults.
