Hi Mr.
I must disagree that this error would be a physical damage of the harddisk

Not at all. Physical damage on the hard disk can screw up Windows software
files and cause issues that look like software issues.

The symptom "In every folder windows creates another folder of the same
name" is NOT a symptom of any virus. What would be the possible motive for
causing such a symptom? Most viruses are written for financial gain, and
the virus authors usually strive to avoid doing anything obvious that you
would notice.

Anyway i tried all these methods..
And nothing worked...

What do you mean "nothing worked?" The steps I gave you weren't intended to
fix the problem, but to give you information to lead you to your next step.
Did you reinstall Windows? There's no way that could not work to remove
whatever the problem is, unless you have a hardware issue. In a case like
this, I don't think I'm the only one who would recommend reinstalling
Windows as your easiest and best way of removing whatever it is.

RE: the error "disabled by Administrator," if you search google for the full
and complete error message, you will find a way to try to remove that error.
It may take multiple google searches and multiple settings changed to fix
each of the applications that you cannot reach. You cannot edit your
registry, but you may be able to import a .REG file that you download from a
web site that you find in google.

If you have another Windows computer available and can plug both computers
into the same network, you can use the other working Windows computer to map
a drive letter to the hard drive of the troubled computer e.g.
\\computername\c$ and run a virus scan of the troubled hard drive from the
working computer. Make sure the antivirus is up to date. If that finds no
viruses, I would find it unlikely that this is a virus problem.
