There are three icons for Products. A closed box, an open box, and a 
broken box. Closed boxes are for installed filesystem products, open 
boxes for ZClass products (which you can edit TTW, which is why it's 
open), and broken boxes for broken products.

If it's a broken product, you can check out why, as Dieter suggested.

If it is indeed an open box, I'm guessing you used the "Add Product" 
button. This is used to create ZClass-based products, not to install 
filesystem products like LocalFS (which will be recognized 
automatically.)  Perhaps it's interfering with the real LocalFS. Remove 
it, restart Zope, and check back.
