Hi all, please give me some tips fo this problem:

My office laptop cannot enable hidden folder, when I go to folder options, choose "show hidden files and folders" and click on "apply", then "ok, the screen (like windows> documents and setting> all user... ...) no hidden folder (like application folder) doesn't appear at all, but then I check back my folder options again, the hide/ show hidden folder become diesable again. I repeat the same multiple time but still the same...

Any idea upon this?

Check whether your regedit executable is still present, and check the properties to verify that it is in fact regedit. Then if double clicking doesn't work on it, use your task manager to check running processes for strange processes. You can use Sysinternals Process Explorer to find out more about what's going on in your system.

After removing the malware, if the problem still persists, chances are the thing has corrupted your default registry settings. You'll need to do some advanced googling for it; it involves resetting the hidden and superhidden keys to default values in both HKCU and HKLM.
