Hi Everyone,

I cant see folder options in control panel.
When I click the Folder Options Icon (folder icon with a red tick), nothing happens.
Also when I open any folder, and go to Tools, I dont see "Options". I see the following three:
Map Network drive
Disconnect Network drive
Synchronize.

I want to see the left panel in each of my folders from where, I can view things such as :
Make New Folder
Go to Desktop etc.

How can I enable "Show Common Tasks In Folders".

Please help!

While searching the forums for a similar problem I saw this answer posted by themetalmozart :

man this problem was getting on me like anything, but finally.....I got a way out of this.I was just exploring the windows registry trying out some stuff, when i saw this "NoFolderOptions" field set to '1'.
When i deleted it the problem was rectified.You will find this field in the infected computer at the following registry address: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

set the DWORD "NoFolderOptions" to 0 or just delete it....and there you go the problem is GONE!!!!.

Even this didnt work in my case.

Please help. Thanks!
