The "File Types" tab disappears from my Folder Options window

The only tabs left in the Folder Options windows are "General", "View" and
"Search"


What's going on?

Thanx in advance

Thanx for replying. I assumed this is due to new Windows upgrades/updates.

I actually wanted to fix the following problem that I posted before:

"Hello all,

Normally, when I clicked on a download link on a webpage, a window pops up
telling me the progress of the download by showing percentages. This
afternoon, when I clicked on the same download link, there's no window popped
up. I know it's downloading though because of the hour glass on the webpage
and the download icon on the bottom left corner of the webpage. I tried
download link from a different website, same thing happen. What's going on???
Where's my download window?? I want my "download window" back. How can I fix
it?

Thanx in advance

L & L"


I've got the reply and the probalem was fixed. Now the problem
re-appear...has it got anything with this new Windows 'upgrade'...boy, this
is a moving target...

Cheers

Thanx in advance

I looked through the list under ""associate a file type or protocol with a
specific program", there is no ZIP file type, perhaps it explains my problem.
No file association, no pop-up download window...

There is only 'Change' button for file association, what about 'Add' button.

Man, I'm getting to be impatient with Vista...

Cheers,

I guess you are aware that Vista can unzip files:
