Hello friends,

When try to click on tools in the my computer menu, there is not also the folder option. Why this problem persists an how to recover that.
I am waition for your answers and suggestions. Thank you.

do one thing...
start->run->gpedit.msc

navigate to userconfiguration->administrative templates->windows components->windows explorer

disable the option Removes the folder option menu item from tools menu

this one can ensure you that ur folder options menu item 'll appear even if the trojan or worm attack changes the registry key..
