No Folder Option

[shakshy]

My PC doesn't show the folder option under tool menu. I hav XP and I m the administrator.

Try to open Registry Editor by typing regedit in RUN dialog box. If u get an error that "Registry Editor has been disabled by the administrator", then ur system has been infected by a virus

Scan ur computer with a good anti-virus!

And if u r able to open regedit then just goto:

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

and in right-side pane delete the key NoFolderOptions

ya, or else go to *www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and go to tweak number 129 or maybe some other. download it, double click on it and add to registry.

It says its disabled by administrator--so it is the virus work

I hav antivir AV installed it doesn't detect it

Any other way to remove this thing?

[SE><IE]

@shanky: goto start > run > gpedit.msc > user configuration > admin templates > system
In the right hand panel, double click on "prevent access to registry editing tools" and select "not configured" or "disabled".
Now try vishal's tweak. If you still get the error (registry blocked ... blah blah blah ) then type gpupdate/force ar RUN.
Hope this helps

thanks to SE>IE and Vishal their plan worked....
I also did a virus search with AntiVir and brontok.h virus was find. But once I had clicked ignored when it detected one, I still doubt if somemore virus are residing in my pc. Does ignoring keeps them on the pc?

 

[Vishal Gupta]

YES!
Again scan and delete the infected files
