Folder options disappear due to registry problems, Group policy edit or Virus problems. Before we suggesting a solution, it's always better to analyse first.

Goto start>Run>type 'regedit' and enter.
In the Registry Editor windows, goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Policies>Explorer

Theres an entry named NoFolderOptions in the right pane. Double click it and change its value to 1.

This will work.
