Folder Options does not have the choice: Show hidden folders.........

Manfred,

Welcome to Sevenforums.


Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
Your Profile | Edit System Spec (left-hand column)

To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

In the System Manufacturer Block, enter:
Manufacturer and Model and
ADD the word laptop, desktop, netbook or tablet.
For example:
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.

You will find that in Speccy, you can select info from the display
using your mouse/touchpad and then paste that info into your specs.

SIW is a marvelous program, but the free version does not offer
this capability.

Hello Manf, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Could you post a screenshot of this to help ID what the issue may be? For now, you might see if using step 13 in the tutorial below may be able to restore that Folder Option for you.

Folder Options - Add or Remove Default Items from View Tab

Hope this helps for now,

psmanfred,

Be sure and post the snapshot requested by Brink.

Excellent job on the specs.

Would you please:

Did you maybe play with the registry or with policy settings?

Run the System File Checker

post back the sfcdetails.txt file mentioned in the tutorial.
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Just a though. Would not having admin. privileges cause this to happen?
