Description
Removes the Folder Options item from all Windows Explorer menus and from Control Panel. As a result, users cannot use the Folder Options dialog box.
This entry stores the setting of the Remove the Folder Options menu item from the Tools menu Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes this entry from the registry, and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
