Select Start/Run, type REGEDIT in the 'Open' box and press enter. When the Registry
Editor opens, click 'Edit' on the toolbar and then 'Find'. Next in the 'Find what:'
window, type NoBrowserOptions and press enter. If the entry is found, it will
show in the right pane. Right click it and select 'Delete' from the menu, or select
'Modify' and change the value form '1' to '0'. You can also check the keys below,
rather than using the 'Find' feature.
NoBrowserOptions - Disable the Tools > Internet Options menu.
Restrictions User Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
Restrictions System Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
There is also a possibility that this restriction has also been set. Just repeat
the above procedure for:
NoFolderOptions - show/don't show Folder Options Menu in Explorer
Close the editor and reboot...........
