| | Can't open Folder options in Control Panel Hi. When I was checking how to fix another problem, I have found that I'm unable to open Folder options in Vista's Control Panel. The Icon is visible but clicking on it does nothing. When I try to open it in Explorer's tools / Folder options I get a message-- "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this Computer" I have spent some time googling this but come up with nothing. Any help would be appreciated Cheers Dave |

| | Re: Can't open Folder options in Control Panel Hi Shawn. Thanks for the reply But, I'm afraid enabling it didn't make any difference. I think there has to be something blocking me from using it. I've seen while googling for the problem that some Anti Spyware programs can do this. I am only running Spyware doctor and have checked through it but haven't found anything related to this problem. I did have Counterspy for a while but uninstalled that a couple of months ago. Cheers Dave |
