To, make Windows Explorer view you hidden file, just choose Show hidden files and folders option. Unfortunately, usually virus has hidden the Folder Options menu. So, you can’t access that option.

The secret to open it, locate in NoFolderOptions value on HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer in registry. Usually, user is using Registry Editor application. But unfortunately, in most cases, the regedit application is disabled as well.

So, you can try this way. The way is using reg command. Just type this command in your Run menu box or DOS console: REG DELETE HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoFolderOptions.

You can type it in Run box menu directly

Or, in DOS prompt console

If you ask a confirmation, just type Y then press Enter. And then restart your computer to apply the new registry setting.

The Folder Options menu is appearing again.
