Hello friends,
I see a serious problem in some of my friends' system. They all are using windows xp with service pack 2. They are not getting the folder option icon in control pannel. When try to click on tools in the my computer menu, there is not also the folder option. Why this problem persists an how to recover that.
I am waition for your answers and suggestions. Thank you.

do one thing...
start->run->gpedit.msc

navigate to userconfiguration->administrative templates->windows components->windows explorer

disable the option Removes the folder option menu item from tools menu

this one can ensure you that ur folder options menu item 'll appear even if the trojan or worm attack changes the registry key..
