The suggested change had no effect as the Folder Option selections are are
available - but clicking on the selection results in the restriction window.
I have the same content in my registry as the person on the forum.

I tried to do a system restore from points two and four weeks old. Both
restores failed. I am not the only one with this Folder Options restricted
problem. This needs to be solved.

Every time I've seen this on a client's machine it was because the computer
was severely infected. So:

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed
between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

My computer has not encountered any viruses that I know of - I have been
using Windows Live Onecare since I purchased this laptop about 6 months ago.
I am really not sure how long the computer has been in this state. Other
computers (an XP and a Vista Basic machine) on my local network do not have
this problem.

I first noticed this problem about a week ago while I was trying to solve a
problem (Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error) I encountered with Family Tree
Maker ( a genealogy program). I had not run into this FTM problem on either
of my other two computers (XP & Vista) on which it is installed.

Everything on my computer works fine except this one problem. It does not
appear to be a virus. I am really just curious as to what the cause is. I
have another free utility, FileTypesMan, which I can use to alter in file
type associations.
