I recently had a virus attack, and according to McAfee it was a Trojan Virus. I am not able to see the Folder Options in Windows Explorer, I tried using the above method to get them back but unfortunately it didnt work. When I type in gpedit.msc I get file not found message is there any other way to get them back?

You can use the full path to the file if you are using Windows XP or 2000. Go to C:\Windows\System32\gpedit.msc where C: is your system drive. Reply

I was looking at some other forums and according to them gpedit.msc is not available in XP Home. It suggests using regedit instead, but dont know how to make the settings from there. Reply

Ok .. that seems simple then .. Just go to Start > Run > regedit. The registry editor will open. Go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer In the right hand pane, see if there is a value called NoFolderOptions If yes then change its value to 0. 1 means hide options and 0 means show options. Reply
Sanix thanks a lot. It did worked for me. But I did not have access to Run the Regedit, because Cannot Access Regedit, How to Fix It? but founded here the solution to get access to the registry http://www.pchell.com/support/registryeditordisabled.shtml Follow the instructions they are easy. Thanks again I have my folders back. Reply
the problem with mine is I cant open regedit as well, system restore is not available! Reply
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer Dear sir I reached upto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\policies but couldnt find Explorer in it Reply

I dont see a value NoFolderOptions in the right hand pane. All I see there is (Default) with no data value. Reply
If you dont see any NoFolderOptions then you should create a DWORD named NoFolderOptions and put 0 as its value. That means youre forcing the explorer to show folder options. Reply
Awesome, worked for me too. My folder option button was dead (when clicked nothing would happen) but is now fixed thanks

i got problem with it.its because of this virus Trixcu.A It disables the following functions: - Find of the Start menu. - Folder options of the Start menu. - the Task Manager. - the Windows Registry Editor. - the CMD shell. # It hides the extensions of the files, and the files and subfolders that have the attribute hidden, in order to go unnoticed. # It turns the computer off once it has carried out all the changes in the system, by running the following command: shutdown.exe -s -f -t 1 Reply

I have the same problem plus many more. When ever I connect to the internet, my computer freezes after a couple minutes. If I disconnect from the internet, my desktop works fine. Also, my folder options is gone, my regedit is locked, I ran spybots and it deleted most of the trojans. But everytime I rescan, it detects a new registry change. My virus program does not detect any viruses. Symantec Corporate Edition. Reply

I recently had my computer repaired and when I got it back, there were certain programmes/applications missing such as voice recognition, search and folder options. Is there a way I can download folder options like I have for search? I need it so that I can view my hidden folders. Reply

Hi. I got a problem, probably from a Trojan: When clicking an ordinary windows-window it no longer opens the file. It can open with a certain program as chosen under Folder Options -Extensions but not just open. Originally the default went to a program which i uninstalled now a double-click results in running the commandoprompt! Very very annoying! Any help? Please? Reply
