I happened to me once when my system got infected with win32.rontokbro virus. Use an av or removal tool and see what happens

rontokbro will disable it completely from everywhere including control panel, so i dont think simply doing right clicks wd work

Install Service 2,it might solve your problem,also run spyware remover & antivirus programs.

Open regedit and goto:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In right-side pane look for a DWORD value named "NoFolderOptions", either delete this DWORD value or set its value to 0
