NEED HELP PLEASE

Alrighty

Couple of ghosts to deal with...
I'll be back in a few with one more registry edit for you

ok. . . thanx a lot . . .
and which anti spyware software is the best . . . ? ?
after all this ,. . i wanna keep my computer free from it . . befor eit picks up such viruses . . . .
whcih software is most secure ?

One thing at a time....

You know the drill....copy contents of code box...save as FixReg4.reg

REGEDIT4



[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Run/MiniPortRt]

Double click FixReg4.reg and allow to add to registry.

Reboot...to be sure no boot errors.

Then we'll finish this up.

ok perfect . . .NO errors . . . .
jus mmy c:\ is opening up automatically on startup . .
any reason ? ?

u need a new log ?

C:\ is opening at boot?
Is this new...or was it doing that before?

Try another reboot to see if it still opens...and to which folder in C

yupp still opened . .
the main LOCAL DIsk( c:\) opens
. . . yupp its new . . it started last night i remember . . .. but i dint pay much atention .. .
. . .. .

See if anything is lited in these, which shouldn't be.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu.
In addition, substitute the names of users on your computer for the All Users folder and check the startup programs associated with their profiles.

Sounds like explorer is in the boot.ini string

in every folder . . .is a program called desktop.ini
its in every single one of them

That's supposed to be there, it shows now because we did the 'show all files' thing earlier.
You can undo those changes after we are done.

Find boot.ini please. Open with notepad...copy/paste contents please.
