Windows Explorer Tool Option Missing in Microsoft Windows XP !!


The windows tool options is a very important aspect of your Windows, it allows you to modify various settings including and most importantly your file-types. if you are having the same problem with your Windows. Follow the below instructions and it’ll be dealt with.

1. Goto run and type “gpedit.msc“.
2. Look for User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Explorer.
3. Enable it first and then Disable “removes folder options menu from tools menu“.
4. After-wards close all the Windows Explorer or any other Windows and see if that works, it most probably should.
5. Done!

If you are still having the problem, there is another workaround but this method requires you have access to your windows registry (“regedit.exe”). Follow the below instructions to use the registry method to fix the windows tool options.

1. Goto run and type “regedit.exe“.
2. Goto the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer
3. In your regedit.exe right hand panel you should see a value calledNoFolderOptions change its value to 0.

0 means to disable it and 1 means you want to hide it. let me know if the above solutions worked for you as it will make me happy know that.
