hi matt there is no any folder option in view..
following option are there i also surprise where is
toolbar >
status bar >

line up icon
refresh
that's all no folder option ................

 

see if it's been moved to one of the other menus; in some versions it's under tools. Otherwise think it indicates need to install again.

 

elo! i need ur help to show hidden system files i don't have folder option in view explorer is there any software that i can use to see hidden system files or can see hidden system file....

 

z4u--I am really only repeating what others have said.
You start by opening Windows Explorer, not IE.
From the menubar right under the blue title bar, left click on Tools (not View),then Folder Options. You should find the View tab. That is where the "Show hidden files and folders" setting is.
If not, you might consider reinstalling Win98.
What Windows version had you used previously?

 

nope it doesn't work i just fresh installed and how it couldbe possible there is no folder option that's y i keep asking about folder option usually it view and folder option but it's not there. so i just change registry value to show hidden files thanx all of u .

 

You might have a policy set that's hiding them. I know this is a knew install but I've seen similar things happen on freshly installed OS's. Have a look at these two registry keys.

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In both keys look in the right pane for a value named NoFolderOptions. If it's in either of them, backup the key (just in case) and then delete the NoFolderOptions value. If folder options still doesn't show in windows explorer, reboot the computer and then see if it's there.

 

thanx zander u solve it otherwise and y i reinstall because it's already newly installed k i follow ur process i found only one key hk_L_M and i delete it works when i restart the computer now i can see folder option in view
thanx a lot once again...

 

Good. Thanks for posting back and letting us know it worked.
