Folder Options Missing

[Herey]

Hi there!

Need some help for my Win XP Pro. My Folder Options icon is missing from the
Appearance and Themes category in the Control Panel. Have tried to locate it
but it must've been hidden (and I can't unhide coz the Folder Options are
missing in the first place!).

Would appreciate any help.

Regards,
Herey

Hi Herey,

NoFolderOptions policy hides the Folder Options applet in the Control Panel,
and the Folder Options sub-menu under Tools menu in Windows Explorer. To get
the option back, (For stand-alone systems) follow this:

Where is my folder options sub-menu?:

Follow-up with a thorough virus/malware check after removing the
NoFolderOptions restriction.
