Is there No Location tab in Properties in Windows 11?
Then you are at the right place as here is how to recover it.
Let’s get started. This is The Windows Club.
When you right-click on folders that support being moved on your Windows computer, in the Folder
Properties box, you will see the Location tab. But if, for some reason, the Location tab in
Properties is missing, we show you how to add it back. Let’s get started!
If you try to open the folder via Libraries or Quick access, the Locations tab may not show.
So open your User folder and then right-click on the folder in question, open it Properties
and check if you can see the Locations tab or not. Also temporarily disable the UAC and then
open the Folder Properties and see if you can see the Location tab and the Move button, or not.
If you see it, make the desired changes and remember to activate UAC again after
your work is done. If you still do not see the Location tab, then read on.
If the Location tab is missing or not showing and the Move button is missing
in Folder Properties in Windows 11/10, then you need to edit the Registry as follows:
Before you begin, you should backup your Registry or create a System Restore Point first.
Open the Windows Registry and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers Here right-click on PropertySheetHandlers
and select New > Key.
A new Key will be created. Rename it as: {4a7ded0a-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}
If you wish, you can download and apply this ready-to-use file. Download it from
our servers, extract its contents, and double-click on the .reg file.
Restart your computer and see now. You will see the Location tab in Properties.
You will see the Location tab in your personal folders like Documents, Music, Videos,
etc. But the Location tab will be available in the Properties box for folders that can be moved by
the Windows OS. Several folders, for instance, the User folder does not support being moved and hence
you may not see the tab on their Properties. If this does not help, you can try to fix
a corrupt User Profile or create a new User Account.
You can move User Files, data or Profile to another drive in Windows following this method:
Select a drive. Create a new folder under it.
Go to This PC > Local Disk (C:) > Users > User Name.
Right-click the folder and select Properties. Switch to the Location tab.
Hit the Move button. Select the newly
created folder under the target drive. Hit Yes and wait for the files to be moved.
