The folder properties in Win7 system lack the 'location' option

php editor Xiaoxin found that some users encountered a problem when using Win7 system: there is no location option in the folder properties. This problem may cause users to be unable to quickly view the path of the folder, causing certain problems in file management and search. In this article, we will introduce ways to solve this problem and help you easily restore the location option in the folder properties.

In the Windows 7 operating system, folder properties are a very useful function, which allows users to view and modify the property information of the folder. However, sometimes we may encounter a problem that there is no location option in the folder properties. This question may confuse some users because the location option allows us to quickly find the location of the folder on the computer. In this article, we will discuss the solutions to this problem.

First of all, let us take a look at why there is no location option in the folder properties. This problem is usually caused by operating system settings or property settings of the folder itself. Sometimes, we may accidentally modify the properties of a folder, causing the location option to become invisible. In addition, some malware may also modify the properties of a folder to hide its location information. No matter what the situation is, we can solve this problem through the following methods.

First of all, we can try to use the "Folder Options" function provided by the Windows 7 operating system to restore the location options of the folder attributes. To use this feature, we can press the Win E key to open Explorer, then click the "Tools" tab and select "Folder Options." In the pop-up dialog box, we can click the "View" tab and then find the "Advanced Settings" section. In this section we can find an option called “Always show the location of folders”. Make sure this option is checked, then click the "Apply" and "OK" buttons to save changes. Now, we can reopen the folder properties and we should be able to see the location option.

If the above method does not solve the problem, we can try to modify the registry to restore the location option of the folder attribute. Please note that before modifying the registry, we should back up the registry to prevent accidents. To modify the registry, we can press the Win R key to open the Run dialog box, then enter "regedit" and click the "OK" button to open the Registry Editor. In the Registry Editor, we can navigate to the following path: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd. Under the cmd key, we can find a subkey called "Extended". If this subkey does not exist, we can right-click the cmd key, select "New" -> "Key", and then name the new key "Extended". Under the Extended subkey, we can find a subkey named "Position". If this subkey does not exist, we can right-click the Extended key, select "New" -> "Key", and then name the new key "Position". Finally, on the Position subkey, we can find a string value called "HideBasedOnVelocityId". If this string value exists, we can right-click it and select "Delete" to delete it. Now we can close the Registry Editor and reopen the folder properties and we should be able to see the location option.

To sum up, the problem that Win7 system folder properties do not have location options may be caused by operating system settings or folder property settings. We can try to use the "Folder Options" function provided by the Windows 7 operating system to restore the location options, or modify the registry to solve this problem. No matter which method is used, we should operate with caution and back up relevant data before modification to prevent accidents. I hope the solutions provided in this article can help users who encounter this problem.
