Just a "subtle" hint: You should consider repping those who help you out. It motivates people to be more receptive in future. :)

I faced the same problem and found the solution just by myself and got the way in this way as given below.
1.Click the "Tool" menu
2.In the drop down menu click on "Folder option"
3.Check on "common task in folders" in General tab.
4.OK and OK
It had solved my problem.
