Try creating a key with name NoFolderOptions and set its value to 0.

No help at all i deleted NoFolderOptions inthe first part.that is, HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionPoliciesExplorer
But there was no line known as NoFolderOptions in the second part.that is,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionPoliciesExplorer
so i exited registry editor and again had a look at tools, but there was no “Folder options”.

1. Did you delete both the registry keys?

2. Are you sure that the malicious process is not active. If its is, then it will recreate the key as soon as you delete it. So, first scan you computer to remove any malicious processes, then re-enable folder options using the above trick.

Hope it helps.
