In "Folder Options", "View", in the "Advanced settings", it shows language i
don't uderstand. It is not in English. What causes the change? Is it virus
infected.
 
Click Start, Run and type "%windir%\system32" Press {ENTER}
Right-click on the file "shell32.dll" and choose Properties.
Click the "Version" tab and check the file "Language".

Note: It should be English ("English (United States)" in my case)

This was most probably caused by a Virus/Trojan. See this link:

The REG file I gave you reinstates the correct entries under folder options.
