Folder Options incomplete, shows only File Types and Offline Files [File Types & Offline Files only

[Uncle John]

David

If you read from the beginning of the post you will see why the thread
reached this point.

New ideas would be welcome.

The Folder Options as accessed from Control Panel uses Shell32.dll the
layout depends on the key settings in the Registry.

In my case only the File Types and Offline Files tabs appear. General and
View are missing.

Everyone knows the key name. Why would you use regmon. Everyone knows how to
fix it. I just don't know why you choose this key. You'd expect this key to
be accessed. It'sa like saying the hard drive light is on so any problems
mnust be the hard drive.

A lot more than this key is being accessed as well. So are we to assume that
there is no reason to suspect this key.

Alan suggested that I use Regmon to identify the key that referenced
Folder
Options and send him a copy.

You may be right that it will not solve the problem!

I have not found a solution yet.

Alan will be able to compare it with the key in his system with a view to
solving the problem referenced in the Subject of this post.

Here is the file compressed as folder Options.rar. It will unzip to

Folder
options is controlled by shell32.dll.

There are a large amount of subkeys under that key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder

I see only 4 entries directly under it, but if it is in one of the
subkeys, you may have to supply an export for me to compare it with
mine. My export of that key is 266 lines, so you might consider
emailing me your export and I can find out what is causing it.
If you are happy doing that, export the key by ensuring the highlight
is on the key in the left-hand pane, right-click it, select Export
and
save as type: "Registration Files (*.reg) and call it Uncle-John.reg
and email it as an attachment. (Not embedded in the body of the
email)
You may have to zip it if your email program complains about sending
a
.reg file.

I have installed the tool and identified the key as:

Have you got the syntax?
