Regedit disabled and gpedit not found

[Acurman]

I was hiot with a virus that disabled 3 of my functions, the Registry Editor,
Display, and Task Manager. I tried to find gpedit and it is not on my
computer. Any suggestions as to how I can get into the Editor so I can
correct the changes that have been made?

Sfc /Scannow should replace/repair system files.

Goto the following link:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line No. 35 - Left Hand Side

Also you can check Line No. 51 - Right hand side - "Enable the Taskmanager".

You didn't specify that the Display tab is missing in Display Properties or
the entire Display icon is missing from Control Panel. For missing Display
tab:

Line No. 285 - Right Hand side - Restore All Display Tabs

Hope this help, let us know!

Why does Task Manager, MSCONFIG, or REGEDIT disappear while opening?

Gpedit.msc is only on Wndows XP Pro not Windows XP Home
