I have managed to lose from Folder options in my computer, explorer and
Folder Options in control panel ever tab/option except "File Types". I'm
using XP Home SP", Ideas as to how to get the lost tabs/options back are
very welcome!
 
Hi

Try using System Restore in Windows XP Home. Pick a restore point that will
restore your Windows XP Home before the folders options are lost in Windows
XP Home.

Hope this helps you.
 
Thanks for reply. I think the problem goes back some time. I put back my
October back up and it was also effected

Hello John

Here's a fix from MVP Kelly you could try:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Scroll down to line no. 129 on the left, Restore Folder Options Under
Tools.

There are instructions at the top of the page on how to use the file.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I have done that now, rebooted and still only file options coming up
as folder options.

John,

Is this happening to the other profiles as well? Meanwhile, try these two
commands as well:

regsvr32 browseui
regsvr32 cscui

Logoff/login again.
