[[To display links to common tasks in folders
1. Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
1a. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
1b. Double-click Folder Options
2. On the General tab, under Tasks, click Show common tasks in folders.
Notes
The hyperlinks to common tasks in the left pane of your folder windows
provide quick access to file and folder management activities and other
places on your computer, such as My Computer, Shared Documents, and My
Network Places. Windows displays these links by default, so they may already
be displayed in your folders. If they are not, you can use Folder Options to
enable this feature.
To disable this feature in your folders, on the General tab, under Tasks,
click Use Windows classic folders. ]]
