This is a difficult one. I am going to assume that you are using XP or 2000 professional and that you may be a student using a computer in a lab or some one working at a major company with large network and IT budget, or some one like a parent/sibling is trying to stop you from changing settings there in folder options.

In 2000/XP there is a program called Group policy editor and one of the things you can disable with it is the folder options menu. If the account you are logged in with is not an administrative account you might be lost already. If you are logged in with an account that has administrative privelages then goto START and then RUN.

Type in GPEDIT.MSC. if you see a message about access denied then you're out of luck. A setting in Group policy editor can be set to dissallow the use of group policy editor.

If you can get into group policy editor then you are moments away from that FOLDER OPTIONS menu.

Go into GPEDIT using the instructions above (Start > run etc)

Expand user configuration by clicking on the + sign next to it(if it's a minus just leave it). Now expand ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES and the Expand WINDOWS COMPONENTS and the WINDOWS EXPLORER. click on the WINDOWS EXPLORER folder. See there are many settings.

RIGHT click on REMOVES THE FOLDER OPTIONS MENU ITEM FROM THE TOOLS MENU and select PROPERTIES.

Click the option box DISABLED and then click APPLY(just in case) and then OK.then goto FILE and EXIT. Check if it's there now if not Restart your PC and it should be there.
