NoFolderOptions policy hides the "Folder Options" applet in the Control Panel and the "Folder Options" item under Tools menu in Windows Explorer. To get the option back, follow these steps (for standalone Windows XP systems):
Start Regedit.exe and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
-and-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Backup the keys, and delete the "NoFolderOptions" value in the right pane.

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