Folder Options--option gone missing ?!?!?

[Guest]

Hi,
Anyone know how to get Folder Options to display the "manage pairs of web
pages and folders" sub-menu when it has gone walkabout?
It may never have been there from installation--I'm on a DELL installation,
and the volume icon in the sys tray goes AWOL 80% of the time
Thanks.

Copy the following lines (starting from line "Windows Registry Editor
Version 5.00" ) to Notepad, and save as "filepairs.reg". Right-click
"filepairs.reg", and choose "Merge"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Thickets]

Thanks for your help--it did the trick
(I don't know why this option is not standard though...)

I don't know why either. The option has always been on my systems but the
first thing I do is install Office on them. I've been told by others that
the Office installation is what adds this option to my XP setup.

It has also been an added feature with past versions of TweakUI.

Now we have Ramesh's REG file to add it too!

This probably is an option added by Office installation, as Sharon said.

Nice catch Sharon. I thought it was a standard option.

Doug Knox was the first to bring that to my attention - I think it was in
this newsgroup and a few years ago. It came up when there was a thread on
this same topic - adding those options into Folder Options. I thought it
was a standard option too but when Doug pointed it out, I checked in
between a fresh install and adding Office. Unless SP2 has changed something
in this regard, Doug was (as usual) correct.
