2) Open the drive in which Windows is installed, in most cases it is “C:”.
3) Go to Tools > Folder Options > View, search for the Radio button “Show hidden Files and Folders”, check it. Just below it there is a check box “Hide Protected Operating System Files”, uncheck it.
4) Now in the ‘C:’ drive you will see a folder named “Config”, simply delete that folder.
5) Now Open the registry editor by typing ‘regedit’ in the run dialog box.
6) Go to the following Key :
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\ Run] ,
delete the key whose path is something like this “C:\config\system.exe”
And another edit, just do the above action with the below mentioned key also
