OK... I'll give it a shot. Here's exactly what it's like on my system:

The fifth menu option is "Tools". Open that up, and click on the last option, called "Folder Options..." The first tab is called "General", and the first item on that page says "Show common tasks in folders".

Now, I have now idea what it's going to say on your system, but hopefully it's something similar.

Also, that bar on the left isn't there if you have the tree view enabled, so you might need to turn that off. Just click on the "Folders" icon to switch back and forth between views.
