Unhook.inf for unblocking the registry

HI ,

Some times due to some spywares and viruses.
we face the following problems .

  1. Task Manager is disabled.
  2. NOt able to change the view for hidden files as folder option gets disabled.
  3. NOt able to open Registry Editor (regedit).
In that case to resolve this issue you first need to run the command regedit.
TO do that You need to do very simply steps.
  1. Copy the below pasted text.===============================================
    [Version]Signature="$Chicago$"Provider=Symantec[DefaultInstall]AddReg=UnhookRegKey[UnhookRegKey]HKLM, Software\CLASSES\batfile\shell\open\command,,,"""%1"" %*"HKLM, Software\CLASSES\comfile\shell\open\command,,,"""%1"" %*"HKLM, Software\CLASSES\exefile\shell\open\command,,,"""%1"" %*"HKLM, Software\CLASSES\piffile\shell\open\command,,,"""%1"" %*"HKLM, Software\CLASSES\regfile\shell\open\command,,,"regedit.exe "%1""HKLM, Software\CLASSES\scrfile\shell\open\command,,,"""%1"" %*"HKCU, Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System,DisableRegistryTools,0x00000020,0
  2. Then open a notepad window.
  3. Paste it there and save that as "unhook.inf" with ("") .
  4. YOu can download this file from here also.
  5. Now right click on that saved file and click on install.
  6. Now you be able to open registy using the command regedit.
Now since You are able to open the registry you need to modify some registry values to enable the task Manager and the Folder Options.
Now In the registry Editor navigate the following key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
In explorer folder you will see a key nofolderoptions and its value would be 1
reset that to 0 .
Now in the system folder you will see a key named disabletaskmgr and its value would be 1 reset that also to 0.
Now you will be able to open both the things FOLDER OPTIONS and TASK MANAGER.
