Tizok,

Does it say that its been disabled? If so, you can do this:

-------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor
er]
"NoFolderOptions"=dword:0000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explo
rer]
"NoFolderOptions"=dword:0000000
---------------------------------------------------

Copy evetrhing into a notepad file
On the File menu click SaveAs
In the filename surround everything in double quotes: Example:
"FolderOptions.reg"
In the File Types choose ALL FILES
Click Save

That will create a registry file which you double-click. You will be asked
if you want to add the... into the registry
Click OK
(It will now say that the data has been entered...)
Click OK

Job done

-------------------------------------------

If you're feeling confident about manually editting the registry instead
then do this:

Click START
Click RUN
Type 'regedit' (without quotes) & click OK
Navigate to

Current User Key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore
r

All Users Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor
er

In the right pane, double click

'NoFolderOptions' & change the value to 0 (zero)
Click OK
Exit the registry editor

I hope this helps,

Hi again my folder options on the control panel won't open
what can i do??

If there is an error message that this option has been disabled by
your system administrator, contact your system admin. If you're the
administrator, scan the system for malware.
