Folder Options in Windows 2000 Explorer is missing, Clueless?

Hello, forumsters!

This is my first time to log in. I'm a computer graphic artist :) needing help with my windows 2000 pc. All of a sudden, I can't find the folder options in my windows 2000 explorer window. I have several files hidden that are very important. Can someone please help me out?

Thanks.

Welcome to DaniWeb,

When you say folder option what do you mean? Like

Tools>Folder Options

if so go here

and #155 is a tweak to allow you to show/not show hidden files.
Note: I belive this make changes to your registry....so be careful

Your netowork admin may have locked down the folder options then.
