folder options like hiding-un-hiding files, showing files extentions etc.

Really?

I am unsure what you are not seeing/why you are not seeing it... but...

 

- Open *one* My Computer - everything else closed.

- Choose (from menu across the top) Tools --> Folder Options... --> View

tab

- Under the "Advanced Settings" section, you should find what you want...

"hiding-un-hiding files, showing file extentions etc" --> "Hidden Files

and Folders" -> "Show hidden files and folders" --> "Hide Extensions for

known file types" --> "Hide Protected Operating System files (Recommended)"

 

Or do you mean something else?
