    if you are one of the unfortunate one, don’t panic! You can restore it back by following a few simple steps.

    Edit registry

    1. Go to Run, type regedit then press enter.
    2. Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer].
    3. At right panel, look for a value called NoFolderOptions. Right click on it then choose Delete.
    4. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer].
    5. Repeat step 3 to delete NoFolderOptions entry.
