Folder Options/Task Manager/Registry Editor Woes

If your PC was recently disinfected from virus/malware, you might be having the following problems:

• Unable to start Task Manager


• Unable to edit registry


• Unable to view Folder Options (from the Explorer)

All you need to fix these problems is to use the reg command supplied with XP. Issue these commands:

• reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools


• reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr


• reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoFolderOption

Cheers!
