my file details tab has disappeared for all files. i've read a post about it before and i did all that it said. that was running a full scan for any viruses and malware. i also had a problem with that my ''open with'' button disappeared but i fixed it by adding this registry key in notepad and saving it as a .reg file. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Open With] @="{09799AFB-AD67-11d1-ABCD-00C04FC30936}" now i wanna know if there is something like this registry key i can add to make the details tab appear again just like the ''open with'' button, or by any change an even better solution. i tried everything i found on the internet and nothing helped. i have windows 7. thanks in advance.

Hi, Maybe applocker or some others tool block this feature, please check them setting. You may try System Restore to restore the system to an earlier point for a test.
