This does not work for me. I get as far as:
Start Search and there is nowhere else to go, no further options. Any ideas? Thanks "Bob F." wrote: "Penicillin" wrote in message ... Please I need your help.

I don't know where I'm supposed to be when I first go to tools.
I figured an folder explore window, but I could not find a tools menu. That is how one gets to folder options in XP. I'm new to Vista, and feeling a bit lost... things appear and disappear seemingly randomly. Thanks Michael "Bob F." wrote: "UscholdM" wrote in message ... This does not work for me.

Thanks RC....Bob F.
"R. C. White" wrote in message ... Hi, Michael. I think Bob was starting from a Windows Explorer window, with the Menu Bar displayed; this has a Tools button. If you don't see the Menu Bar in Windows Explorer, you can turn it on momentarily by pressing Alt or (semi-)permanently by clicking Organize | Layout and checking that selection. Another way to get there is to click Start | Control Panel | Folder Options. RC -- R. C.
