Apparently, when I go into Windows Explorer and go to
Tools ->Folder Options and click on the View tab my
Advanced Settings choices are missing. I'm wondering if
this is a group policy setting or something else. Has
anyone else ever seen this? I welcome any suggestions.

Thanks!

Hello Ron,

I have seen this before but I do not know what causes it. Here is a
solution:

This issue can occur if the following registry key is missing or corrupt:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Advanc
ed

This issue may also be resolved by exporting the affected reg key
from a working computer that has the same version of Windows as the affected
computer and importing this key into the affected machines registry.
