Hi All,

I am using WindowsXP operating system. I was able to hide the files and to see them : I was going to the "Tool" menu then "Folder Option" and then "View" tab and "show the hidden files and folders" check box ...

But from some days I am not able to get that "Folder Option" in the menu from the "Tool" menu. So I am not able to understand that why this is not showing. I sthere any .dll file is corrupted or what?????

So please help me I am waiting for the reply. What will be the solution for that.

Regards
firoz

It seems that is a symptom of a virus which I just read about.
Do you have an anti virus program installed?
If you had a virus and got rid of it already, you can fix your system by modifying two registry keys:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoFolderOptions"=dword:0000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Restrictions]
"NoBrowserOptions"=dword:00000000

Yeah. I think that I have done that. See #3 above and #18 in this post.
