00:00.000 --> 00:02.800
Is there No Location tab in 
Properties in Windows 11?
 

00:02.800 --> 00:05.680
Then you are at the right place 
as here is how to recover it.
 

00:05.680 --> 00:12.400
Let’s get started.
This is The Windows Club.
 

00:12.400 --> 00:16.720
When you right-click on folders that support being 
moved on your Windows computer, in the Folder  

00:16.720 --> 00:21.200
Properties box, you will see the Location tab. 
But if, for some reason, the Location tab in  

00:21.200 --> 00:27.520
Properties is missing, we show you how 
to add it back. Let’s get started!
 

00:27.520 --> 00:32.320
If you try to open the folder via Libraries or 
Quick access, the Locations tab may not show. 
 

00:32.320 --> 00:37.040
So open your User folder and then right-click 
on the folder in question, open it Properties  

00:37.040 --> 00:42.400
and check if you can see the Locations tab or 
not. Also temporarily disable the UAC and then  

00:42.400 --> 00:47.440
open the Folder Properties and see if you can see 
the Location tab and the Move button, or not. 
 

00:47.440 --> 00:51.680
If you see it, make the desired changes 
and remember to activate UAC again after  

00:51.680 --> 00:55.600
your work is done. If you still do not 
see the Location tab, then read on.
 

00:55.600 --> 00:59.040
If the Location tab is missing or not 
showing and the Move button is missing  

00:59.040 --> 01:03.520
in Folder Properties in Windows 11/10, then 
you need to edit the Registry as follows:
 

01:03.520 --> 01:08.240
Before you begin, you should backup your Registry 
or create a System Restore Point first.
 

01:08.240 --> 01:11.200
Open the Windows Registry and 
navigate to the following key:
 

01:11.200 --> 01:13.680
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers
Here right-click on PropertySheetHandlers  

01:13.680 --> 01:15.440
and select New > Key.
 

01:15.440 --> 01:18.240
A new Key will be created. Rename it as:
{4a7ded0a-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}
 

01:18.240 --> 01:22.000
If you wish, you can download and apply 
this ready-to-use file. Download it from  

01:22.000 --> 01:25.920
our servers, extract its contents, 
and double-click on the .reg file.
 

01:25.920 --> 01:30.080
Restart your computer and see now. You 
will see the Location tab in Properties.
 

01:30.080 --> 01:34.240
You will see the Location tab in your personal 
folders like Documents, Music, Videos,  

01:34.240 --> 01:38.560
etc. But the Location tab will be available in the 
Properties box for folders that can be moved by  

01:38.560 --> 01:43.600
the Windows OS. Several folders, for instance, the 
User folder does not support being moved and hence  

01:43.600 --> 01:47.440
you may not see the tab on their Properties.
If this does not help, you can try to fix  

01:47.440 --> 01:53.760
a corrupt User Profile or 
create a new User Account.
 

01:53.760 --> 01:58.240
You can move User Files, data or Profile to 
another drive in Windows following this method:
 

01:58.240 --> 02:00.560
Select a drive.
Create a new folder under it.
 

02:00.560 --> 02:03.840
Go to This PC > Local Disk 
(C:) > Users > User Name.
 

02:03.840 --> 02:07.200
Right-click the folder and select Properties.
Switch to the Location tab.
 

02:07.200 --> 02:08.800
Hit the Move button.
Select the newly  

02:08.800 --> 02:13.120
created folder under the target drive.
Hit Yes and wait for the files to be moved.
 

02:13.120 --> 02:15.280
So, that's it.
