folder options disabled

I am using windows XP professional service pack 2. Of late I’m unable to activate the show hidden files & folders option in folder options. I was infected with Brontok virus which i disinfected using Avast antivirus following which this problem arose. How do i repair this using the repair option on booting from the installation CD. Kindly assist.

You don’t ‘need’ to use the restore CD, on contrary, you can run the script into Windows.
