Personalization Restore Legacy Folder Options in Windows 11


Folder_Options_banner.png

This tutorial will show you how to restore the removed legacy settings in Folder Options for all users in Windows 11.

You can use Folder Options (aka: File Explorer Options) to change the way files and folders function and how items are displayed in Windows 11 File Explorer.

Starting with Windows 11 build 23481 in the Insider Dev Channel, Microsoft removed a handful of old settings under Folder Options in File Explorer as part of an effort to clean up the number of settings for File Explorer. Many of these are legacy settings that have been around for ages and are not being regularly used by people on Windows 11.

These removed legacy settings can still be changed via registry keys linked below.

Starting with Windows 11 build 23486, Microsoft restored these legacy settings back to Folder Options based on feedback.

Legacy settings removed from Folder Options:
If you like, you can add/restore specific or all of these legacy settings back into Folder Options.


You must be signed in as an administrator to add and remove legacy settings in Folder Options.


This will not work when Administrator protection is turned on.

Hello mate, :alien:

The link you posted is for how to change those removed legacy settings in the registry like in the links at the top of this tutorial here.

This tutorial shows you how to add these settings back to Folder Options so you can change them there if wanted instead of having to do so in the registry.

@Brink,

Good day to you, Dr. Brink!

The only removed ones I use are these:
I know it's a long road from Dev channel to release, but I was wondering whether we will lose the options of NOT hiding protected OS files and of SHOWING drive letters if we DON'T put these functions back on the menu.

Hello Dan, :alien:

Oh no. You will still be able to change these settings via the registry if wanted, but you should still be able to add them back to Folder Options as well.
