hey guys, wanted to know if any of you have ever had the problem when you cant create a briefcase cause the icon isnt under the Right-click, New menu in Windows explorer, or any other type of file for that matter. one day it was teher, and the next i can create new word docs or text docs or folders but not briefcases. i get the feeling that the registry needs to be modified, but this isnt the only computer this has happened to. thanks in advance guys, i really appreciate it.

To create a new Briefcase

On the desktop, right-click My Computer, and then click Explore.
Click the folder in which you want to create the new Briefcase.
On the File menu, point to New, and then click Briefcase.
Note

Or To create a new Briefcase on your desktop, right-click anywhere on the desktop, select New and then Briefcase.

Hi, recently when I restarted my computer, i wanted to make a new briefcase, but it's missing, I tried microsoft's tweak UI and the option/checkbox isn't there. Does any one have an idea on how to restore the template?
Thanks in advance.
