Trouble:
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 (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
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 download the registry file and double click it to add it to the registry.

my folder options is enabled but the shoe hidden file and folders options is missing. hence i cannot view my system files.
Download install and run Remove Restriction Tool. After restart your machine you can see your hidden files and folders.
i was infected though the virus has already been deleted i think, i cant disable the show hidden files in my win7.
i dont have explorer in my policies. But i do have explorer in my CURRENT_VERSION.
pls help, thanks very much
Same issue, but when I get to the Registry Editor and follow the folder path and end up at Explorer, I don’t see the exact registry on the right side that says “NoFolderOptions”. I do see NoActiveDesktop, NoDriveAutoRun, NoDrives, etc… What do I do?????
