File option missing on the menu toolbar

Make sure you backup your registry first. If you are inexperienced, get somebody to help you out.

Now for the fix. On most systems the registry key involved is:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Set the DWORD "NoFileMenu" to 0 (that's a zero) or remove that value from the registry completely. A value of 1 (the number one) suppresses the list.

You will need to reboot to set the change on the system.
