Missing “Folder Options” in Windows Xp?
Recently, I came across with a virus, which simply makes you “Folder Options” invisible, and creating great troubles for me. Firstly I thought that it was some windows file that could have gone corrupt, and then i thought of running the setup once again. But when I saw what changes have been made to my registry, I saw a small change, a new DWORD value was created. Changing the value did the trick and i was successfully able to see the Folder Options and do the desired changes.
If you are facing this problem too, Here is what U can do.
1. Go to Start –> Run, type Regedit.
2. Go to HKEY CURRENT USER / SOFTWARE / MICROSOFT / WINDOWS /CURRENTVERSION / POLICIES / EXPLORER
3. You will find a DWORD value “NoFolderOptions” and its value as “1“.
4. Change its value from “1” to “0“.
The folder options should now work properly. If in case you need to hide Folder Options then this is a cool trick as well.

Remove Shortcut Arrow from Icons
Creating shortcuts is easy, but creating shortcuts looking like executable files is difficult. Well now its not, shortcuts can be identified by the small arrow we see in bottom left of the icon. This can be removed and thus giving an impression that the file is running from its original position.
Follow this registry setting, and you will have desired results.
1. Go to Start –> Run, type Regedit.
2. GO to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ lnkfile (It’s Link File, not Ink File, as many people get confused.)
3. On the Right pane look for “IsShortcut” and delete this entry.
4. Reboot and done.
A simple way to remove the shortcut arrow from icon.

Block USB Devices in XP
All students in our college few weeks back were busy with practicals and completing files, and the biggest problem we face that everybody seems to take everybody’s data. As nobody is well versed of using window xp(
including me to extent), and they are a bit careless about their data security. Pen drives becoming a handy tool to get data is the biggest problem we all face today. Not only in our college, it is part of everybody’s life that.Also You can help not spread viruses like we did with MUSIC VB-SCRIPT BOOT INFECTOR VIRUS.To this what can be done is that the USB can be blocked and then stopping the use of USB drives.
Here is a simple registry hack to do so, try it with care.
1. Go to Start –> Run, type Regedit.
2. Go to Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlset\Services\USBStor
3. In the right pane, look for value Start and have value as 0000000(3)
4. Double click on that and change that value to 4.
You might be required to restart the PC, and then you are done with it, USB is now blocked.
In case if you want to get the USB unblocked, just change the value again to 3.
See, its so easy. Isn’t it
