Folder Option Not available in Windows XP?

Oh!!! god.  Sheesh. What happened to this?? Where the hell did the folder options go?  I have lot of hidden documents and files and without folder options i am not able to access them. God,  save me.  I am very much in need of those hidden files. Lot of work has to be done.  Plz god plz.

What are you reading? Hmmm... Exactly.  This was your condition/situation when the folder options was disabled or it was missing.  Not to worry so much. There is a easy way to enable this option. Here we go!!!

First and foremost, you need to have registry enabled in your system. In many of the systems, this would have got disabled because of viruses. If this this the case, then you can enable registry editor by reading my previous post. http://srikanthgundaz.wordpress.com/2010/04/13/registry-editor-disabled/

Now lets start with actual process of enabling folder options.

• Click on Start-->run.    Then type as regedit and then press enter.


• Now go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer

In right-side pane, check whether a DWORD value named NoFolderOptions exists or not?  If it exists, delete it.

Now you will be able to see folder options and you can browse to your hidden folder(s) and access your documents and files.

Thank you :)
