I have looked in 6 installs of Windows 7 and cannot find that option either.

it wouldn't do you much good all other options except this one are in hebrew all i can say that it under files and folder and i don't think i installed anything that might add something there but here is a picture just in case:http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/8803/92590015.jpg

We do not have this option in our RTM systems. What is the version and the version number of your system? Arthur Xie - MSFT

my version is 7600.16385 ultimate oem with all updates hebrew msdn after all updates i think it's 6.1.7600.16397 hal version that is.

have you tried your hebrew rtm system?

Well this is mine SCREENSHOT I think is a virus beacuse I'm trying to resolve this problem also which born from another problem (a damned rootkit)

Hi Arthur, I've got Win7 Pro 32bit pre-installed on my HP laptop and I *DO* see this "Classic View State" option. In fact, the only reason I found this thread is because I too, was looking for a description of what this option does. You can see a picture here -> http://twitpic.com/4nhhyd Given the large number of Win7's I've installed in the past year, I can quite easily say the normal, OEM-supplied AND MSDN supplied, Win7 explorer Views options DO NOT look like yours above. They definitely do NOT have these "-OFF" and "-ON" text. Cheers, GlenCheers, Glen
