You still have not asked a good question.

Here's how to use the properties checkbox:

1. Right-click on your working copy
2. Hover over "TortoiseSVN" in the popup menu
3. Click the "Check for modifications" button
4. Click the "Properties" checkbox

There, you've used it. You should read "how to ask questions the smart
way": http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Now, you MIGHT be asking, "Why, when I click the 'properties'
checkbox, does nothing change in the list of displayed modifications?"
That would be a much better question, so I'll ask it now.

In one of my working copies, I made one change to the contents of
"SETUP.bash", then I modified the "svn:externals" property of a
directory called "coverity", then I added an svn:needs-lock property
to a file called "makefile".

I go into the "check for modifications" dialog and all three
modifications show up, with the following selections:

Directories: on
Files: on
Unversioned: off
Unmodified: off
Ignored: off
Properties: on
Items in Externals: on

If I deselect "directories", then "coverity" is removed from the list.
Reselect it and "coverity" reappears.

If I deselect "files", both "makefile" and "SETUP.bash" are removed.
Reselect it and both files reappear.

If I deselect "properties", nothing happens.

Shouldn't property-only changes disappear when deselecting the
"properties" checkbox? I expected that deselecting "properties" should
hide "coverity" and "makefile" since those are property-only
modifications. Does this button do something different than I expect?
