I don't see the "permissions" tab when right clicking on a public folder even though I'm logged on as an administrator

I need to change permissions on certain public folders but when I use the Outlook 2003 client and right click on the folder all I get is the summary tab. When I try to use the ESM and right click on the folder and go to properties, it states, "The object is no longer available. Press F5 to refresh the display and then try again. ID No. 80040e19." Any body have any ideas? Thanks.

Click the Web Site tab, and then modify the port number in the TCP Port box.
Click OK.

I tried this MS article and there is no web site tab under properties. There are 5 tabs listed as

Virtual Directory
Documents
Directory Security
HTTP Headers
Custom Errors

The Public, Exchange, and Exadmin web sites all have ERROR signs next to them.
Internet Information Services > locate the Exadmin virtual folder, move up and out the tree to Default Web site > Right-click for properties.

The web site tab is in the properties of the virtual server that holds the exadmin folder

OK. TCP Port was set to 80. Description is "default web site", IP Addresses are "(all unassigned)", connections are "unlimited" and logging is enabled.
 There is only one virtual server.
Which Exchange do you have?
Have you ever been able to change permissions or did this start after a specific event?

Is the URLScan tool installed?
Does your domain name have ".com" in it?

Exchange 2000. I have only been here a short time and have never had to change the permissions. I did find out that the person who originally setup the folder has since left and their account has been deleted. Assuming they were the original owner of the folder would this lock out everyone else? I made a backup of the folder, created a new one and imported the sub folders. I cannot however delete the old folder. Even if I go to the M: drive and try to access the permissions for the public folder I am denied access. Is this normal?
Do -not- change permissions on the M drive.

Using ESM, try to propogate permissions for yourself down the tree

Permissions is the issue here, which I pointed out and instructed to correct and then spikeworld gave more detailed instructions.  Unless mleziva says otherwise, I believe the information provided most likely answered the question.
