I want to view file extensions but I don't have Tools->Folder Options in the
Windows Explorer!! how can I get it?
 
Open Windows Explorer, click on "Organise", then "Layout", then "Menu Bar" in
Layout's sub-menu.
The old "file, edit, view, tools, etc" is back in place, just like XP.

Are you missing the Menu Bar or Folder Options under Tools on the
Menu Bar?

Can you access Folder Options using Start, Settings, Control Panel,
Folder Options?

When I do this in Explorer, it simply selects or deselects the FILE button.
What am I missing here?

Hi,

You can type 'Folder Options' into the start/search prompt, but it won't do
you much good as the file extensions are no longer in this panel.

Go to the Control Panel and open Default Programs, one of the options here
is to associate file extensions with a program. Be warned, this utility is
not as functional as previous OS versions have been.

Is this a standalone or network computer?

In Windows XP it was possible to disable Folder Options in the
Registry but the arrangements have changed. It could be they have
been disable as a Policy option.

Can you see Folder Options in Safe Mode?

but I still don't have answer!!!

how can I get the Folder Options back to the menu and control panel?
 
In an explorer window press the alt key and the old explorer menu will
appear. Then pick "Tools" and then "Folder Options" as you could in XP.
 
oh no!!

I have already said that the Folder Options dosn't exist in the menu niether
in the control panel and I want to show in the menu and the control panel.
