MeraForum Community.No 1 Pakistani Forum Community - Problem with Folder Option? or Regedit? ..

Many ppl find that in their windows Tools >> Folder Options is not visible, they also can't access it from the Control Panel..
So I decided to post this tutorial, in this tutorial I'll tell the reasons which can cause this problem and their solutions:

1. You can enable Folder Options by simply editing the Windows Registry! Just type regedit in RUN dialog box and it'll open Registry Editor, now goto following keys:

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Explorer

And in right-side pane, check whether a DWORD value named NoFolderOptions exists or not? If it exists then either change its value to 0 or delete it..

2. If you are not familiar with Editing the registry, then u can simply download the registry tweak from here and then simply run the file:

3. But sometimes u can find that regedit is also disabled, when u'll try to open regedit or run the downloaded reg file, u'll get error:

4. If its not a virus problem and someone disabled Registry Editor in ur system, then u can enable it again by following any of following methods:

A) Type gpedit.msc in RUN dialog box and goto:

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System

in right-side pane, set "Prevent access to Registry editing tools" to either Not Configured or Disabled.

B) Just type following in RUN dialog box and press <ENTER>:

Code:

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Now after enabling Registry Editor, u can enable Folder Options again by using 1st or 2nd st ..
