Re: restore window blank

Thanks Malke for your reply. Sorry I couldn't be more explicit about
the problems. We are sort of beginning, intermediate users so didn't
know just how specific we needed to be to ask for help. We will go
back into the msconfig window and recheck anything that was turned off
there. The one thing we didn't do was to go into the registry and edit
anything directly there. We have already lost some image and document
folders from the hard drive, somehow during the fix-up. I don't know
how that happened, but they are no longer available on the hard drive.
Unless, by messing with the administrator, we have just lost them from
being available with the present logon information. I am trying to
learn more about the administrative options that the administrator can
do and see if changing things there could have lost our ability to
find the missing folders. Thanks again. We will check out as much as
we can before the dreaded reinstall of Windows XP. Thanks again.

Since you can get into the system, re-enabling the items you disabled is
a good start. However, you may wish to take the machine to a different
professional computer repair shop (not your local BigStoreUSA) since
you aren't that savvy about the machine and what was done. Your choice,
naturally.
