I think you may have been infected by what was once a simple worm which disables that option so to hide itself.
==Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
from: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html
or: http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe
=Dclick that file, mbam-setup.exe, to install the application,
-ensure that it is set to update and start, else start it via the icon.
Select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan; the application will guide you through the remaining steps.
ENSURE that EVERYTHING found has a CHECKMARK against it, then click Remove Selected.
If malware has been found [and removed] MBAM will automatically produce a log for you... do not click the Save Logfile button.
When it completes examine the log: if some files are listed as Delete on Reboot then restart your machine before continuing.
Post the Notepad log [it is also saved under Logs tab in MBAM].
Check the results.... if MBAM does not detect and delete autorun.inf then please...
==Run a BitDefender online scan: http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html -use the Download button for the 30 Days Trial product; post the results, please.

Is it XP home or pro?
In xp pro you can toggle it using Group Policy, xp home requires a registry hack.

Okay, moved to the malware board. Sounds like the malware is interfrering with the registry/policy settings.

Gautam, I need to see that MBAM log, please... [it is saved under Logs tab in Program Files\MBAM].
also:
==download hijackthis: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download5554.html
-copy it to a new FOLDER placed either alongside your program files or on your desktop and then... rename hijackthis.exe to imabunny.exe
-in that folder start HijackThis by dclicking the .exe; now close ALL other applications and any open windows including the explorer window containing HijackThis.
-click the Scan and Save a Logfile button. Post the log here.
Post both logs, please. I am blind without them.
Did you try the Bitdefender online scan? Post that log also... that scan will remove your autorun.inf trojan if that is what you have.
