Ok Guys and Gals, here's the story.
My brother bought this file cabinet today. he can't figure out how to release the drawers from the cabinet. I told him I know smart people. Can any of you help him?

If he pulls the drawer out further is there a little lever near the other slide thing?
Or could it be the tippy tilty kind?

No, there's no release - just the plastic piece on the front of the runner with a ring on the bottom and a tab on top. I thought I could put a finger in the plastic ring with tab and pull down, but it doesn't move. There is a curved piece of metal on either side of the runners (about midway) that is attached to the side of the cabinet. That piece of metal (on both side runners) is preventing the drawer from sliding off the runners. I thought maybe the plastic ring could be removed and then pushed against that piece of metal to push it away from the rail, but I can't remove it. I even tried using screwdrivers to try and push the curved metal, but that didn't help. Plus, the drawers only come halfway out of the cabinet. I'll have to push the folders to the rear of each drawer and fill the cabinet from the back to the front. That's a real hassle if I want to add new folders. I'll have to remove the front folders first in order to access the rear.

And the tippy tilty method?
Where you pull the drawer as far out as it will go and lift up a bit to release it from the other slide via a cut out for the rollers?

Update,
Thanks for your insightful input. He decided to just leave the drawers in place, to remain one of life's mysteries.

This sounds like the most likely method. Very similar to the way older kitchen cabinet drawer glides worked. Pull out to the stop/"curved piece", lift the front end of the drawer and pull forward until the "curve" clears. This should work.
