Common Computer Problems And
Possible Fixes
Last Updated May 26th 2008
Problem:
Does
anyone know how to edit the hard
drive right-click menu. I need to
remove an extra "autoplay" option in
it and make open the default option
Possible Solution:
If
your hard drive right-click menu has
an "autoplay" option, it maybe some
Trojan horse on your hard drive.
First, reboot your system and get
into the safe mode.
Second, change setting to show all
files on your hard drive
Then, if there is a file which name
is "autorun.inf"under your hard
drive's root directory, delete it.
You must delete the Trojan horse
under the hard drive's root
directory and delete the start-up
option of it
After that, reboot your computer.
All done!
Now look at your hard drive
right-click menu, the "autoplay"
option is disappeared. "
Problem:
I Used To Have A ‘Folder Options’
Option In Tools Menu In Windows
Explorer. But Its Gone. How To Get
That Back?
Possible Solution:
Click on
’start’ and then
‘run’.
In the
‘run’ dialog box type
gpedit.msc. The Group Policy
window will open.
Navigate to the
following location:
User Configuration>
Administrative Templates> Window
Components> Windows Explorer
In the right pane, find the
‘Remove the folder options menu
item’. Set its value to
‘Not Configured’ by double
clicking and setting the correct
option.
Now if you like playing with Windows
Registry, follow these steps:
Open registry editor by typing
regedit in the run
dialog box.
Navigate to the
following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\
Microsoft\ Windows\
CurrentVersion\ Policies\
Explorer
Find the
NoFolderOptions key in right
pane. Change its value to 0. If you
do not have this key. Just create
it!
Problem:
Wondering where the Folder Options
menu item is? Well this menu item,
which is usually present under the
Tools menu in Windows explorer, may
be hidden possibly due to virus
attacks. Here I am going to show you
how to bring it back. Before you
proceed make sure that “Run” command
is unblocked. Now perform the
following steps:
Possible Solution:
Type “gpedit.msc” (without the
quotes) in the Run command. The
Group Policy window will show up.
On the left pane, click on the
“Administrative Templates” under the
“User Configuration” list item.
Open “Windows Components”folder
located on the right pane.
Open “Windows Explorer” folder and
select “Removes the Folder Options
menu item from the Tools menu”
entry. Right click on it and select
“Properties”. Select “Not
Configured” option and click OK.
Close the Group Policy window.
Now the Folder Options menu item can
be found under the Tools menu.
Note: If you cannot open
“gpedit.msc” using Run command then
you can manually locate the file.
Open the file named “gpedit.msc”
which is located in the
“Windows/System32″ folder
