Autorun dropdown options went missing

Hi,
I face a weird issue with my Vista Enterprise edition. Sometime back suddenly one day all the autorun settings disappeared from my system.
When I checked the autorun defaults setting from the control panel I see that that dropdowns have gone blank completely. All the default options like "Open folder..", "Take no action", "Ask me everytime", etc. are simply wiped off... No more there! :eek:
Later when I installed some software like picasa, winamp, etc. these programs got added to the options list in the autorun defaults, but the above default options are still missing.

Now the autorun works in my system, and automatically launches the applications like picasa or winamp for appropriate disks, but I can't set/select the options like "Take no action" or "Ask me everytime" anymore :(

Can someone please tell me how I can add those default options back again?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Webdigr, I dont really have an answer for this but i am sure someone else may have the only time i have run into it is with Karspersky I.S. where it has an option of disabling autorun for security reasons?

Oh well, it seems you've misunderstood the issue here... My autorun is NOT disabled. It's very much enabled, however, the options available in the defaults dropdown are gone!
I'm attaching a screenshot for you to be able to appreciate the real issue...

Can you see a blank dropdown in the screenshot attached? That's my issue... How do I get the options back?

No, I don't have a restore point.
I'll try to check the SFC you pointed to, however somehow I feel this could be a registry related issue.
I get a feeling that this can be corrected with some registry corrections, but I can't find anyway how!
