Guys!
Many ppl find that in their windows Tools -> Folder Options is not visible, they also can't access it from the Control Panel. I hv seen so many threads for this problem recently in our forum, I searched in forum and found more than 15 threads for this problem.
So I decided to post this tutorial, in this tutorial I'll tell the reasons which can cause this problem and their solutions:
1.) You can enable Folder Options by simply editing the Windows Registry! Just type regedit in RUN dialog box and it'll open Registry Editor, now goto following keys:
And in right-side pane, check whether a DWORD value named NoFolderOptions exists or not? If it exists then either change its value to 0 or delete it.
2.) If you are not familiar with Editing the registry, then u can simply download the registry tweak from here and then simply run the file:

3.) But sometimes u can find that regedit is also disabled, when u'll try to open regedit or run the downloaded reg file, u'll get error:

*www.greatis.com/appdata/d/_/_windir__eksplorasi.exe.htm
*www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/dangerous_files/1759-WinDireksplorasiexe.html
Just scan ur system with a good anti-virus. u can try avast! or AVG as a free anti-virus or use Kaspersky or NOD32 as a paid solution. You can also follow following method to remove this trojan manually:

4.) If its not a virus problem and someone disabled Registry Editor in ur system, then u can enable it again by following any of following methods:
a.) Type gpedit.msc in RUN dialog box and goto:
User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System
in right-side pane, set "Prevent access to Registry editing tools" to either Not Configured or Disabled.
b.) Just type following in RUN dialog box and press <ENTER>:
Now after enabling Registry Editor, u can enable Folder Options again by using 1st or 2nd step
