Trouble:

Are you among those who are not able to access or see your folder options under File

Menu>>Tools in Windows Explorer on your Windows XP ? This problem of hidden or

disabled folder options occur normally due to malicious virus (w32.rontokbro@mm)

activity.

The virus creates an entry in registry to disable “Folder Options” in Windows explorer.

Let us see how we can fix it.

Fix:

In most of the cases, even if the virus is been already removed by your anti-virus

program, it doesn’t restore the registry back to the original state. Also anti-virus usually

does not delete the registry entry created by the virus.

For restoring the registry settings,follow the steps given below

Enable your folder options in explorer.

1. Go to Start > RUN

2. Type regedit and press enter.

3. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows >

CurrentVersion > Policies > Explorer

4.On the right side of the screen, you can see some registry entry names, out of them,

right-click on NoFolderOptions and click Modify option.

5.A new small screen pops up, on this screen, sen the value data field as 0 (zero).Press

OK.

That’s it but it requires reboot. Trouble Fixed.

To convert a FAT partition to NTFS, perform the following steps.

Click Start, click Programs, and then click Command Prompt.

In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type cmd and then click OK.

At the command prompt, type CONVERT [driveletter]: /FS:NTFS.

Convert.exe will attempt to convert the partition to NTFS.

NOTE: Although the chance of corruption or data loss during the conversion from FAT to NTFS

is minimal, it is best to perform a full backup of the data on the drive that it is to be converted

prior to executing the convert command. It is also recommended to verify the integrity of the

backup before proceeding, as well as to run RDISK and update the emergency repair disk

(ERD).

To speed up the browsing of your local LAN try this:

1.Open the registry editor.

2.Go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComput

er\NameSpace

3.Export this key (in order to back it up, just in case) and then delete the key called

{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} (Task Scheduler).

4.Close the registry.

Be sure to check your 'Binding Order' in Network Connections > Advanced.

Make sure you're logged on as actually "Administrator". Do not log on with any account that

just has administrator privileges.

1.Start > Run > type gpedit.msc (not available in home version).

2.Expand the Local Computer Policy branch.

3.Expand the Administrative Templates branch.

4.Expand the Network branch.

5.Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window.

6.In right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting.

7.On setting tab check the ENABLED item.

8.Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0 (ZERO).

9.Close gpedit.msc.

Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot.
