Hi Friends,

My PC got infected with a virus. I cleaned it, but now some features have remained disabled even after the cleaning process. I am using Windows XP SP2. For Example, Task Manager is disabled, Registry Editor is disabled, "Folder Options" menu is not appearing in Windows Explorer.
I created a new Admin account and it works fine without any issues like above-mentioned.
How can I change these options back to "Enabled" settings? Please please help me.

Also, please tell me if there is any way to disable / password protect the use of USB mass storage devices. I need this to do very desperately. I followed the Miscrosoft's article on disabling USB drives, but it does not work on my PC. When I select properties of "Usbstor.pnf" file, there appears only "General" tab , no "Security" tab and nothing.

ThanQ in advance
