Windows 7 File,View and Edit buttons disabled

Problem

By default, windows 7 and windows vista do not you the old standard File,View and tolls menus within windows exploerer, I find these hugeley useful so I wanted to turn them back on. Follow the step by step guide below on how to turn windows 7 file menus.

 

 

Resolution

This is a dead easy fix but microsoft as usual put it in a silly place.

So, click on start, go to computer then click on organize.

Then drop down to layout and pop a tick in menu bar.

We now have our file menus back, see the screen shot below.
