my computer>tools>"folder option"

"folder option" gone......
i want back...
ok found the thread....

@ joey_182
i do think u wont find "RUN" window & "system restore". is it ??
did u open any "new folder.exe" file. ??

save this text as a folder.reg file

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoFolderOptions"=dword:0000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions]
"NoBrowserOptions"=dword:00000000

Click to expand...

and after saving double click it...

@cool sunny..
no RUN and system restore are there..

but i shd tell u that wat has happened after solving the folder option problem....i got the very bad trojan...bitdefender failed to disinfect the file..and i was also not able to run any anti virus in safe mode and didnt found the virus..and in normal mode....when i start the pc it says issac.exe file is ccorrupted and many more files....and system will be shutdown in 60 seconds..
so i formatted the whole c drive and installed fresh piece of XP...that trojan was realy bad...i guess it came from torrent..coz i downloaded a movie...and file asked for password..and guess wat was the password...yes the trojan..i tell u how...
in .txt file which i downloaded with movie...this was written "ur password is to dash link..download the software and install it and the version of the software is ur password...."
i knew it is virus.....but i thought my big movie..let see wat it can do....and that software ****.....
but good thing is that my whole is data is safe even the movie coz before formatting i copied the content using safe mode.....and i watched the movie yesterday night...now i ll check for any hard disk damage....i hope it is safe...

hey @joey did you tried the method i posted, i think you have BRONTOK WORM,,, try doenloading the kaspersky latest version and it will remove the virus, and for folder options, try what i said in my post

ya shantanu...folder option is now working...
and abt that virus..i discussed with u guys...for that i did the formating coz nothing was working....not even in safe mode...
