We are using Active Directory at work. Profiles have been set up giving users access to most options on their own desktops with the exception of a few. However, even though our users can access "view" in explorer and change folder views, arrange icons, change font size, etc., they do not have access to "folder options" under "tools." Anyone know where this permission can be changed? We've searched under everything we know of and can't seem to find it.

Thanks, Susan
 
It's a registry entry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer DWORD: "NoFolderOptions". Sounds like you have a value of '1'. Change it to 0 to restore the 'Folder Options' view. ________
