o.0 I don't have folder options?

[Llama]

Last time i checked in my control panel, I had folder options.

Now when I look, I haven't got them.
Any ideas how I could access them, or where they have gone at all?

:bonce:

Nearest CVS or Eckerd and buy new folders?

LMAO!!

When you go to view the Control Panel, do you have it set to "Category View" or "Classic View"?

Under Classic View, there should be a "Folder Options" Icon next to the "Fonts" or "Display" Icons.
Under Category View, it's located under the "Appearances and Themes" Tab. Look near the bottom of the screen.

Or you could just window key + E to open an Explorer window and go to Tools->Folder options...

I'm drunk I dunno what heck I'm gibbering about.

Sorry about that. :E

None of those methods work. It's absent from all of them. I'm not a moron
Edit: I also tried system restore (To before id installed any new stuff and I could get to the folders)

 

[Barney Fife]

Add/Remove and write down all programs that you need and may loose, System restore as far back as you possibly can.
If you haven't done so.
Every Windows Explorer, under "Tools" in the option menu you do have "Folder Option" don't you? In the "View" option, mark "Show Hidden Files" if you can.

Good Luck.

I have said, I CANNOT get to folder options from the option menu, that's my problem. Also, i've restored by far back as I can go and its still not done anything.

Restart system, hit "F8" before system boots into Windows and select "Best Known Windows Configuration" or something similar to that, see what happens.

Good Luck.

run->"regedit"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Any entry named NoFolderOptions = 1? If so set to 0.

How did it get that way? get a virus or something?

 

[Llama]

Ill try the two above, thanks.
TBH I have no idea, I haven't got a virus of any sort (Ran several checks on different programs, nothing has shown up) I must have been screwing around and deleted something

Edit: I found the Registry key and it was set to 1, so I changed it, rebooted and its solved it. Thanks guys!

:thumbs: Asus. I'm gonna write that down, you never know I may one day delete Folder Option in my sleep. Just in case, to be on safe side.
