    It should come up.

    Are you on administrator account or standard account? Is it possible that this feature is somehow blocked from your account?

    Providing you are the owner and running under an Admin-privileges User Account:

    Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    If this doesn't help, consider a Repair Install

    Are you able to right click on desktop?Make sure a key named 'NoViewContextMenu' doesn't exist with value 1 at these locations-
    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ExplorerHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    If they do, delete them or change their value to 0, reboot and try right clicking again.

    Thanks for the help, none of these worked.

    System scan gave no results

    Searching WEI gives the (change time properties) so must be missing

    and could not find that value within /policies/

    I guess i'll try a repair install

    As a work-around, simply open a Windows Explorer window, and paste in the address bar (press ALT+D):

    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System

    then press ENTER. The System information screen will appear.
