your computer corrupted with virus. so please scan with anti virus like avg or macfee. I think you get back your folder option.

First check the recycle bin, he could have deleted it and it will be in there, just restore. If it is hidden and you want to show hidden files?? Go to "Control Panel" "Folder Options" "View" and put a dot in show hidden files, Click "Apply" and then "OK" Your file, if hidden, will now be visible.
BACK-UP.........Try one of the simple solutions first........and BACK-UP......

sorry bob any thing of control panel never delete.

I faced this problem before. so I knew it. after scan if folder option never come back. then you need to reinstall windows. but remember it occurred by virus. I think you loss your search option.

As abu says, you probably have an infection of sorts.. registry keys do not spontaneously change.. so first I would try this scan:
==Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
from: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebyt...are_d5756.html
or: http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe
=Dclick that file to install the application and ensure that it is set to update and start, else start it via the icon.
Select "Perform Full Scan", then click Scan; the application will guide you through the remaining steps.
Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. Examine the log: if some files are listed as Delete on Reboot then restart your machine before continuing.
Post the Notepad log [it is also saved under Logs tab in MBAM].

The fix for the FolderOptions the you require is this:
==Please copy the text in the box to a notepad [format/wordwrap unchecked] and save as fixkey.reg, as type "all files", to your desktop; dclick it to run... agree; if it opens in notepad instead rclick the icon [file], choose Open with, Registry editor....
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer]
"NoFolderOptions"=-

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoFolderOptions"=-

His brother was playing with his PC and has accidentally did something. No mention of viruses or missing reg keys, his brother is the prob or he is the virus. No virus detector will get rid of him. Files are missing not control panel entries. The brother lost them, where? maybe he deleted them?? maybe he changed them to hidden?? His brother did it!!!
Ok go "Start", "Run" then type"Stop brother from using PC" and see if that works.
