Its one of the most common viruses, which disables:

1.) Tools -> Folder Options
2.) Registry Editing tool
3.) msconfig also (not sure?)

As u hv removed the virus, but after removing the virus, all the above things r still disabled. As u told u hv enabled regedit from gpedit.msc. So now the last thing is to enable Folder Options.

Just open regedit and nevigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In right-side pane, u'll get a DWORD value NoFolderOptions, simply delete the key or change its value to 0

Type the follwing in notepad and save as .reg file. Double click to merge.
Exactly same as above post but is helpful in case you aren't able to acess registry.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoFolderOptions"="0"

If registry editing is disabled, then u can't merge the .REG files.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:0

This will enable the registry editing :)

Are bhai mere! When registry editing is disabled, then u can't merge these .REG files... U'll get the same message that "Registry editing is disabled by ur administrator". :)

@ ikill run 'gpedit.msc' >user config>admin templates>system>disable 'prevent registry access' n vishal is right merging a reg file is the same as opening the registry n editing it... so it cant be done if its disabled...
