Re: Folder Option disappeared

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

OS: Windows XP
Due to some virus activity it seems, the "Folder Option" in the Windows
Explorer menu has disappeared.
The virus was subsequently removed but the option has not been restored.
All attempts to modify the registry have failed (Access to the registry is
denied even though the login is through Administrator account)
Re-installation of the OS has not helped either.
Presently unable to access the folder option by any means.
What are the options remaining to restore the menu short of re-installation
of the OS?

See if this can help with the registry access problem.
