"Folder Oprions Missing"

Hi,

I found that my Vista (starter)'s folder option in in control panel is
missing. I can't get to access to the program. What is the problem and how to
fix it?

All helps are appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Click start and type "Control Folders" into the search bar, then hit
<enter>.

Hi,

Ok, run regedit from the start/search line, go to these keys by expanding
the plus (+) signs:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Restrictions
HKEY_USER\DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Restrictions

Click on the "Restrictions" key, then look for a string called
nobrowseroptions in the right pane. Double click it and set the value data
to 0, it's likely set to 1.

Hi Rick,

I type the "Regedit" but the result is:
Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator.
I think I am facing a very serious problem.
