Only I have no tools or options showing. It's very strange.

My menu choices are organize, view, explore, slide show, email, share,
and burn. This is when I have the folders set to properties>customize>
folder type template> pictures and videos.

I've tried right clicking on the folder an don the menu area and can
not get tools anywhere. Can someone please explain further?

The Menu bar is hidden by default. Hold the ALT key and press T to access
the "Tools" menu.

Thank you all - it should show them by default - it was driving me mad as well.
