Is there No Location tab in Properties in Windows 11?
0:02
Then you are at the right place as here is how to recover it.
0:05
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
0:16
Properties box, you will see the Location tab. But if, for some reason, the Location tab in
0:21
Properties is missing, we show you how to add it back. Let’s get started!
0:27
If you try to open the folder via Libraries or Quick access, the Locations tab may not show.
0:32
So open your User folder and then right-click on the folder in question, open it Properties
0:37
and check if you can see the Locations tab or not. Also temporarily disable the UAC and then
0:42
open the Folder Properties and see if you can see the Location tab and the Move button, or not.
0:47
If you see it, make the desired changes and remember to activate UAC again after
0:51
your work is done. If you still do not see the Location tab, then read on.
0:55
If the Location tab is missing or not showing and the Move button is missing
0:59
in Folder Properties in Windows 11/10, then you need to edit the Registry as follows:
1:03
Before you begin, you should backup your Registry or create a System Restore Point first.
1:08
Open the Windows Registry and navigate to the following key:
1:11
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers Here right-click on PropertySheetHandlers
1:13
and select New > Key.
1:15
A new Key will be created. Rename it as: {4a7ded0a-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}
1:18
If you wish, you can download and apply this ready-to-use file. Download it from
1:22
our servers, extract its contents, and double-click on the .reg file.
1:25
Restart your computer and see now. You will see the Location tab in Properties.
1:30
You will see the Location tab in your personal folders like Documents, Music, Videos,
1:34
etc. But the Location tab will be available in the Properties box for folders that can be moved by
1:38
the Windows OS. Several folders, for instance, the User folder does not support being moved and hence
1:43
you may not see the tab on their Properties. If this does not help, you can try to fix
1:47
a corrupt User Profile or create a new User Account.
1:53
You can move User Files, data or Profile to another drive in Windows following this method:
1:58
Select a drive. Create a new folder under it.
2:00
Go to This PC > Local Disk (C:) > Users > User Name.
2:03
Right-click the folder and select Properties. Switch to the Location tab.
2:07
Hit the Move button. Select the newly
2:08
created folder under the target drive. Hit Yes and wait for the files to be moved.
2:13
