1. You can enable Folder Options by simply editing the Windows Registry!
- Click on Start and Run and type regedit in RUN dialog box and click on OK.
- Go to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\E xplorer – On the right pane check for a DWORD value named NoFolderOptions. If it is there, change the value to zero or delete it. Now go to Tools -> Folder Option and you are done. The Folder Option is there.
If you are unable to access the registry editor, then it may so happen that due to security purpose, it has been disabled on your computer.
2. You can enable it again by following any of following methods
- Click on Start and Run and Type gpedit.msc in Run dialog box and goto: User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System.
- In right-side pane, set “Prevent access to Registry editing tools” to either Not Configured or Disabled by right clicking on it.
