Folder Options

Dear RajKohli

Yes! Yes! Yes! It worked. The problem was caused by the Warezov worm that
The PC picked up through e-mail and I stuggled using a number of different
anti-virus programmes without success. It is a pitty that a bright brain like
yours must will be wasted one day. I can now change my name from Dr Struggle
to Dr Satisfied

Thanks again

Dr Struggle

This problem arises for one of two reasons:
1 Group Policy Editor has somehow been set so that Folder Options are not
displayed
Check this registry key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
>------------If you see a string for no folder options delete it.
2 The system is corrupted.
-> Use system restore. If you do not have a Restore Point for when the
problem was not present then:
-> First run System File Checker Start, Run, and then type in SFC /scannow
with your windows CD in the boot optical drive.
If this does not fix the problem you will have to do a Repair install of
Windows.
-> While in Windows, close all applications and then insert the Windows CD
from the installation menu at the last prompt select upgrade. If you have
not done this before look up "How to do a repair install" on the web, there
are many tutorials.
