Most of the virus attack in anybody computer threatens your comp badly but the main area that it inhibits is Folder options, CMD and regedit. You might have heard of that eBrontok Virus that in its initial phase disabled folder options.

Its later version was more stable and started disabling Command Prompt and Run command. And the simplest solution that i was using was the system restore. Later on its worst part came even disabling System restore and all other possible remedial action that a common person can take when his PC is attacked with Virus. Well we had no other choice except using the costly antivirus programs which only assures prevention not the remedy. If your PC is not affected with Virus then these antivirus could be helpful, but if its already persisting then even Antivirus cant handle it. At that time I got some handy and small freewares which were hard to find and install. But now it seems very easy to tackel such type of problem with Re-enable.


How to use
Its simple to use and user friendly . All you need to do is put a check on the check box that you want to enable and click the Enable button. The disable feature will be instantly enabled or if not, a reboot would do the trick. Please make sure that the computer is free from virus or else the changes made by this tool will not be effective and there is no end to enabling/disabling competition between you and the virus.


Re-enable is coded in .NET but doesn’t need .NET installed because .NET dependencies are included in the program making it fully portable. That is why a single file is in 36.7MB. However if you working on a computer that already have .NET framework installed, then you can just use the 64KB version instead.
