hi
i am facing a problem with windows xp at my home pc. After having survived a virus attack i have failed: 1. to access folder options 2. to open my c, d and e drives from my computer (when i left click on the icon i get "open with" dialog box) There is another query, i have heard that there is a "no drive" key in windows registry which makes your logical hard drives disappear from my computer or explorer. i am keeping windows format as a last option so please save me the time of fresh installation. further more if someone could guide me to any gud windows registry group that would be another great help. thanx in advance |

For Missing Folder Options, try this:
http://www.mindyourbrain.1gig.biz/Tr...lderoption.htm or Manual Fix: For Windows XP Professional: 1. Click Start - Run - type GPEDIT.MSC 2. Expand to User Configuration Administrative Templates Windows Components Windows Explorer 3. Double-click "Remove the Folder Options menu item from the Tools menu" in right side pane. 4. If it is set to "Enable" or "Not configured" then set it "Disable". For both Windows XP and Home Edition: (Modifying registry need high attention. Do it carefully) 1. Click Start - Run - type Regedit 2. Here expand to HKEY_CURRENT_USER SOFTWARE MICROSOFT WINDOWS CURRENTVERSION POLICIES EXPLORER 3. in the right-side pane check for the DWORD value NoFolderOptions 4. If it is not there then create a new DWORD value by right-clicking NEW-DWORD 5. Type a name 'NoFolderOptions" and press Enter. 6. Double-click the entry and set the value to 0 7. Open any folder and see if Folder Options is there. If it is still not there then Log Off and Log in again or make a restart For your second problem try this: Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32 Click OK. Restart your computer. Hope this help, let us know! "x" wrote: hi i am facing a problem with windows xp at my home pc.
