Okay, when I go to Folder Options > General Tap I can't click on "Show common tasks in folders", why? Do you think that some files are missing? you got any idea to solve this problem? I did a Restore Default and nothing happen. Here is a pic.

When you open Folder Options, the entry Single-click to open an item (point to select) is dimmed. This happens if Classic Shell is enforced. The option Show Common tasks in folders will also grayed out. This may be a Policy setting. If your system is in a Domain, the best option is to contact your network admin. For standalone PCs, try the setting given below.

Resolution

Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe and press Enter.

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer

-and-

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer

Backup the registry by exporting the branch ( See here )

In the right-pane, set ClassicShell to 0. Restart for the changes to take effect. The "Single click" folder option should now be restored.

If you are using Windows XP Professional Edition, you may use the Group Policy Editor.

Type GPEDIT.MSC in Start, Run. Navigate to this location:

User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows components | Windows Explorer

Double-click Turn on classic shell and set it to Not Configured

nvm I got it. thanks
