Trying to make sense out of the Information on Article"

After reading: Article129 on how to get Internet Explorer to use SmartFTP instead of it's own internal ftp client my question is the info say's open my computer go to view> Options and select the File Types tab. There is no file tab, so could someone tell me who ever gave these instruction's where do you find on the view tab> Options and select the File Types tab? Then maybe I could get on with it. One thing for sure is who ever is giving this info need's to be more explicit simply because there are alot of folks out here that are not tech's. Thankyou, Hardryve!
