I was also facing observe the same thing as you have mentioned in the above post and I have found the solution to your trouble. I have found that in the registry I am missing certain files. Inside the registry I was missing the following value:[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers]@="{5F5295E0-429F-1069-A2E2-08002B30309D}"
This value is responsible for the properties to always default to the sharing tab. I had no value set inside there that caused the properties on the way to for all time default to the sharing tab as an alternative of the general tab. So the solution to this issue you will need to enter the following value and After entering the value all was resolved: {5F5295E0-429F-1069-A2E2-08002B30309D}I hope this assist you to get rid of this trouble.

3. The scan will run and any damage or files require a replace SFC will replace them. You may possibly be asked to put in your Windows 7 DVD for this procedure to carry on
4. If the whole thing is all right you be supposed to, after the scan, observe the message "Windows resource protection did not come across any reliability violations"

The disappearance of the tabs may be due to corruption or lack of WindowsShell. Manifest file located in the Windows directory. This file can be copied from the windows DVD or else you can download this file from website.
• Once the zip file is downloaded unzip it must be with specific software.
• The downloaded file (if you decide to download the zip) is hidden by default.: To make it visible, do the following:
