Are you among those who are not able to access or see your folder options under File Menu>>Tools in Windows Explorer on your Windows XP ? This problem of hidden or disabled folder options occur normally due to malicious virus activity.

Let us see how we can fix it. Fix:

1. Go to Start > RUN
2. Type regedit and press enter.
3. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies > Explorer
4. On the right side of the screen, you can see some registry entry names, out of them, right-click on NoFolderOptions and click Modify option
.
5.A new small screen pops up, on this screen, sen the value data field as 0 (zero).Press OK.
