It does not work as after typing regedit, It says that it was disabled by the administrator(virus)
My task manager has also been disabled and although I had follow the troubleshooting,The file cannot be found.

Hi Elaine

This is another problem on its own, but has a solution.
Go to Start menu >> Run >> enter “gpedit.msc” and Ok.

Then go to user Configuration>>Administrative Templates>>System.

When you click on “System” on the right you’ll see “Prevent access to registry editing tools”. Double click on it and on the properties pop-up screen select “enable” option, then click “apply” (do not click ok). Then click “disable” option and apply, then okay.

After that you can go back to run and execute the “regedit.exe”. It will take you to the registry.

From there on you can follow the instructions previously given.

Hope this helps. I had similar problem and now I’m sorted out.

hi macs! if you cant view your hidden files,try opening the location where your hidden files are, then click search button > and select “All Files and Folders” and in the “More advanced options” Menu, check “Search Hidden Files and Folders” then you can begin your search…hope this helps you.

For more questions, just post you question in the related topics in my blog and i would be glad if you request something just lie tutorials.

Different problem here. My pc show the hidden files if i use the “tools–>folderoptions–>view–>show…”. But it is only for that page. If i go to another page then the hidden files won’t be visible. If i go back to that page again, the file is still not visible. What’s happening here?? Is it a side effect of virus (Before, i got a virus but the virus is already erased (uhm.. i think the extension of the virus is “.pif”))??

thanks,
