folder options is missing from control panel and tools menus


Use the Registry editor and navigate to the following keys, if applicable:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
and/or
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

In the right-hand pane delete "NoFolderOptions".

If you do not feel comfortable editing the registry then please download the
following registration file to your desktop from my site.

http://www.lprf.ca/files/folder_options.reg

Right-click "folder_options.reg" and select MERGE to merge into the
registry. NOTE: You can view the contents of the file by right-clicking the
file and select EDIT.

**You may need to log off then log back to gain access to Folder Options
after applying the fix.**

If you have Windows XP Pro, please use the Group Policy Editor.

Start > Run > gpedit.msc

Then navigate to:

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows
Explorer > Double-click "Remove the Folder Options menu from the Tools menu"
and select "Not Configured"
