Hello,
Here is my problem:
1. Whenever I click on a folder to open it, instead of being able to navigate within the same window, a completely new window opens. When I tried to verify the settings in the "Folder Option" of the Tool menu in any window, the "Folder Option" has disappeared and there is only "Map Network Drive...", "Disconnect Network Drive...", "Synchronize" left.
2. When I try to open "Task manager" from the Task Bar menu, I cannot access it (greyed out).
When these problems started, I decided to format my Windows partition. I have two hard drives: one with two partitions (windows and my files) and the other one contains three partitions (my files once again). However, the same problem happens again within the hour after formatting my computer. I formated numerous times to the same results.
I am assuming that it is a virus that is within one of my partitions, but am not sure how to proceed.
I followed the advice I found online related to a similar problem whereas I should check the registry. Yet, when I try to run regedit from Start menu/Run, it states that I need to be the administrator to access the registry. I am the administrator and it still does not let me access it.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
BumbleB
