In earlier versions of Windows you would right click a file or a folder to access the properties via the drop-down menu.
But in Windows 8.1 (in my case Windows 8.1 Professional 64bit), a right click would just refresh the Windows Desktop and nothing happens). I believe this is not how it should be and here is a way to look at the folder / file properties.
In Windows 8.1 open the File Explorer as shown.
Click open the folder for which you want to review the properties. In this case Desktop for example.
The Window for Desktop opens with its own ribbon as shown.
Choose the folder or file (mysorian in this case) and access its properties via the Properties toolbar item.
It was so easy in earlier versions. I wish the earlier way of access is restored.
