Judy Many viruses, worms and trojans will block the running of MSCONFIG, Task Manager and the Registry Editor -thus making the removal of the intrusion more difficult. Since the system tools are blocked by name, renaming their executables is a workaround. Example: Rename regedit.exe to regedit.com In your case, rename the one in the Windows folder that is 131 kb in size. (The next two in your list are help files and the last one is prefetch data.) Or you can run the tool created by MVP Doug Knox that creates a "backup set" of those three programs for you: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_emerutils.htm Run the resulting regedit.com that this program creates. Also, check your system thoroughly with an up to date antivirus program. -- Sharon F MS MVP - Windows Shell/User |
