This problem of hidden or disabled folder options occur normally due to malicious virus (w32.rontokbro@mm) activity.    The virus creates an entry in registry to disable “Folder Options” in Windows explorer. Let us see how we can fix it. Fix: In most of the cases, even if the virus is been already removed by your anti-virus program, it doesn’t restore the registry back to the original state. Also anti-virus usually does not delete the registry entry created by the virus. For restoring the registry settings, follow the steps given below Method 1. Enable your folder options in explorer. 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. That’s it but it requires reboot. Trouble Fixed. If you don’t want to play with the registry yourself ,you can also <a href="http://www.troublefixers.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/folderoptions.reg" target="_blank">download >>>  registry file</a> and double click it to add it to the registry. <a href="http://www.technize.com/2007/05/13/show-hidden-files-and-folders-not-working/" target="_blank">Show Hidden Files and Folders not working?</a> google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad);  A few days back, a client came to me and told me that he was having trouble with his Windows XP. The show hidden files and folders was not working at all. If he selected the radio button “Show hidden files and folders”, and then press Ok .. the changes would just disappear upon opening the dialog again. It was probably some virus attack after which the Windows registry was not being updated properly. So here is what I did to restore it back. There are so many methods to restore back the registry. If one method is not working, please try another one. Method 2: Go to registry editor by running regedit in the run box. Go to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced In the right hand area, double click hidden and change the value to 1. Now you’re all set to go. Check it in your tools menu if the changes have taken effect.  google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad);Method 3: (By Random Hajile) 1. Click “Start” -> “Run…” (or press Windows key + R) 2. Type “regedit” and click “Ok”. 3. Find the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL 4. Look at the “CheckedValue” key… This should be a DWORD key. If it isn’t, delete the key. 5. Create a new key called “CheckedValue” as a DWORD (hexadecimal) with a value of 1. 6. The “Show hidden files & folders” check box should now work normally.
