Folder Options can also be found under the Tools Menu under Windows Explorer (Keyboard shortcut is Windows Logo + E).
If the Folder Options is missing from the Control Panel, it can be restored. Refer to link http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and go to item #129. Note I have not run this myself but believe it should restore it successfully.
