Hi,

I found that my Vista (starter)'s folder option in in control panel is
missing. I can't get to access to the program. What is the problem and how to
fix it?

All helps are appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Rick,

I tried your instruction and find the "Control Folder", but after i hit
<enter> or i click the icon, that's nothing.

Thanks for help.
 
Oh, I forget the "S". But now i type "Control Folders"and <enter>, that's a
message:

Restrictions:

computer. Please contact your system administrator.
 
Hi,

Ok, run regedit from the start/search line, go to these keys by expanding
the plus (+) signs:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
HKEY_USER\DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

Click on the "Restrictions" key, then look for a string called
nobrowseroptions in the right pane. Double click it and set the value data
to 0, it's likely set to 1.

Hi Rick,

I type the "Regedit" but the result is:
Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator.
I think I am facing a very serious problem.
 
Error "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator" when you open the Registry Editor in Windows Vista:

Where is my folder options sub-menu?:

Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for your help, the "Regedit" already can run now after follow your
solutions.
But the problem is, when I follow your way to edit, that's no "Explorer" in
the "Policies".

Have you also checked the other location (that is, the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive)

Hi Ramesh,

I got the "explorer" in this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\POLICIES
This is the only one I can found and I set the value to 0, but nothing
change after this.
I am using AVG antivirus and Ad-adware 2007(but error occur when running) to
scan, but nothing found.

Sky, Delete the "NoFolderOptions" value where-ever found, and reboot the system once.

I also used administrator status to key Regedit in Run,
but encountered the same disabled warning, and auto-restart.
Same thing when I tried regedit.exe in Run, as advised by Ramesh in the url
below.

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/co...n-us&mid=9e88eda6-d018-45d6-8356-ddab183d66c8

Right now I have many USB peripherals which could in the past be detected by
XP, but not not detectable by Vista because Vista somehow sees the Folder as
Application (i.e. ~.exe). I need to access the Folder Options to display
extension and remove the non-sensical ~.exe extension. Even so, Vista seems
to make the Folder Options so inaccessible as compared to XP.

Please advise.
Thank you very much.

Best Rgds,
David Teng
