2) Open the drive in which Windows is installed, in most cases it is âC:â.
3) Go to Tools > Folder Options > View, search for the Radio button âShow hidden Files and Foldersâ, check it. Just below it there is a check box âHide Protected Operating System Filesâ, uncheck it.
4) Now in the âC:â drive you will see a folder named âConfigâ, simply delete that folder.
5) Now Open the registry editor by typing âregeditâ in the run dialog box.
