Hi …Have a look at this link

http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/132440.html

My question is which is the correct path ?

I know this is a old post but I have the same problem now and I am curious as the location in the regedit area , Shouldn't it be located here ?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Or is it from the one below instead of ?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Can someone say for sure which one is correct ?

Thanks

Nudexp, If you want to restore your Display Property tabs go to the link below and scroll down to Line 285 (right column) and download the "Restore All Display Tabs" reg fix. Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
You can check the reg file and you'll see what the correct paths are.

Tuf - FYI Derek suggested the same fix in the referenced thread.
