[RESOLVED] Cannot access Folder Options on my system?

I have not been able to access the Folder options on my system for sometime now and cannot figure out how to bring it back.

There is not even the option under Tools in Explorer. When I got to Microsoft help and I click on the link hat they have in their help section I get a message saying that I do not have access to this option, contact system admin. But that is impossible since this is a ome computer and I have no access rights set up.

If anyone knows how I can get this option back please let me know. I have also looked in the registery and cannot find it there.

Thanks for any help.

It's not much, but this is all that I found on the KB. Take a look in there, there is a link in there about removing active desktop.

I can't say that I have ever seen that before, hopefully someone has an answer for you.

The Folder Option is not available in the Control Panel either. I will take a look at the link you sent me and see if it helps.

Thanks for your feedback and I will get back to you hopefully with this issue resolved.

The answer to your problem.

Fire up regedit and edit this key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

Change the key NoFolderOptions to 0.
That'll fix you right up.

I sincerely hope they have fixed it before your post, since that was asked 09-09-2001!

The fix will be useful to others searching for answers.
