Solved "Sort By" Menu Missing

[DrCr4zy]

Hello,

The menu that I am showing in the attachement that I uploaded (sort by date, name, modified, etc), DOES NOT appear in the computer of a friend of mine.

When I log on his computer with a different username, the menu does appear, meaning that it is a problem in his profile.

I already tried several known tweaks on organize and menu views, but nothing worked so far

Does anyone have any suggestion or encountered this problem before?

Thanks in advance!

Hello DrCR4zy,

Do you mean that the menu bar is not there to click on View to then select Sort by?

If so, then the tutorial below can help show you how to turn on the menu bar in Windows Explorer.

Hope this helps,

Hi Brink,

Thanks for the answer! No, what happens is that I did try options 1 & 2 from the tutorial (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/517-menu-bar-turn-off.html), but the menu is still missing.

I am guessing I will have to try the registry option, which I didnt until now.

Do you think it might help?

Thanks again!

DrCr4zy,

It could help. The REG file does a more thorough job.

I tried now both the REG and the GPO (separately) and it still didnt work :-(

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

You might see if doing a system restore using a restore point dated before you had this problem may be able to undo whatever caused it.

thanks a lot, it helped!

You're most welcome. I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted.
