Hello, I would like to understand how the solution you describe is fundamentally different from the one described here - Как включить отсутствующие параметры папки в сборке Windows 11 Build 23481

Hello mate,

The link you posted is for how to change those removed legacy settings in the registry like in the links at the top of this tutorial here.

This tutorial shows you how to add these settings back to Folder Options so you can change them there if wanted instead of having to do so in the registry.

@Brink,

Good day to you, Dr. Brink!

The only removed ones I use are these:

I know it's a long road from Dev channel to release, but I was wondering whether we will lose the options of NOT hiding protected OS files and of SHOWING drive letters if we DON'T put these functions back on the menu.

Hello Dan,

Oh no. You will still be able to change these settings via the registry if wanted, but you should still be able to add them back to Folder Options as well.
