Let me know......MrC

I thought we had it for a moment........ about 2 seconds

reverted back

 

This is only happening with 1 user log on

If I log on as either of the other 2 users I had edit (& keep) any keys at will with regedit

 

Unfortunatly, it is under this user that I have set up all most most useful aplications

We may get the the point where I have to configure another user as I want & then delete the problem use

 

BTW at one point I changed this users name, but a lot of the folder names have retained the old user name.

Could this be a factor?

It's possible, I was also thinking of creating a new user and transfer what you want.

 

It's hard to say what's wrong at this point.

Hi MrC

I am just about to head for bed.... after midnight here.

 

Let me examine the new user strategy tomorrow.

Might be an incentive to clean up some stuff piled up over the years

 

I'll report back tomorrow.

 

Thanks for your help & patience

[MrCharlie]

OK....MrC

[beeonline]

Hi MrC

Created new user

Set up to do what I want

Deleted problem user

Problems gone

I think probably should have bitten the bullet earlier

It was not such a huge task to create the user set up I needed anyway (and did some houskeeping)

 

Do you want me to do anything /post anything else at this stage?

Off to bed at 2:16 AM     I'm sure I'm getting more wrinkles

[MrCharlie]

Good......

Lets check your computers security before you go and we have a little cleanup to do also:

Download Security Check by screen317 from HERE or HERE.

• Save it to your Desktop.
• Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
• If you get "Unsupported operating system. Aborting now", just reboot and try again.
• A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt.
• Please Post the contents of that document.
• Do Not Attach It!!!

Looks Good..except for the old left over version of Chrome:

Google Chrome 28.0.1500.72 <-----OLD

Google Chrome 28.0.1500.95 <-----OK

You have old versions of Google Chrome on the system.

Please download and run OldChromeRemover.

@Windows Vista/Windows 7-8 users must use “Run As Administrator.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A little clean up to do....

Please Uninstall ComboFix: (if you used it)

Press the Windows logo key + R to bring up the "run box"

Copy and paste next command in the field:

ComboFix /uninstall

Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /

Then hit enter.

This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and clears System Restore cache and create new Restore point

(If that doesn't work.....you can simply rename ComboFix.exe to Uninstall.exe and double click it to complete the uninstall or download and run the uninstaller)

---------------------------------

If you used DeFogger to disable your CD Emulation drivers, please re-enable them.

-------------------------------

Please download OTC to your desktop.

http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTC.exe

Double-click OTC to run it. (Vista and up users, please right click on OTC and select "Run as an Administrator")

Click on the CleanUp! button and follow the prompts.

(If you get a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the Internet, please allow the connection.)

You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process, choose Yes.

After the reboot all the tools we used should be gone.

Note: Some more recently created tools may not yet be removed by OTC. Feel free to manually delete any tools it leaves behind.

Any other programs or logs you can manually delete.

IE: RogueKiller.exe, RKreport.txt, RK_Quarantine folder, C:\FRST, MBAR, etc....AdwCleaner > just run the program and click uninstall.

-------------------------------

Any questions...please post back.
