favorites item in windows explorer menu how to control with GPO?

[Luit]

Hi
I have a windows 2003 environment with an active Group Policy. I changed a
few items but when a user starts the windows explorer, the favorites menu
item (between view and tools) is missing. As far as I know I did not set this
feature in the Group Policy so it has to be controlled by another setting in
the GPO, but which one?

Any help appreciated
Thanks

They were there before you made changes and now they are not? Well I
would start out by looking at the settings that were changed. Reverese
them one by one and see which one makes it work again.

Well I know that this is my problem, but it is a setting in the Group Policy,
but which one, there is no GPO option that says, do not display the favorites
setting in Windows Explorer.

I took a while, but I found out that de the group policy setting "turn on
classic shell" in explorer settings (User Configuration - Administrative
templates - Windows Explorer) made the favorites menu item disappear.
