Re: autoruns mistake

It sounds like you disabled the Userinit entry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

You need to access the registry and restore this value. Is your machine a standalone or is it part of a network?

I made the mistake of trying microsoft autoruns utility this morning, withnot so good results. Thinking (This is the problem (THINKING) that i knew what was going on I unchecked a bunch of stuff. Now I can't get to the system restore to undo the mess I made.
I'm running XP Pro SP3. I trun on the pc and it askes for a logon and password, never done that before. I put in my username which is already listed no password and click ok. It boots to the desktop, but before it can load any icons it shuts down and again askes for my logon. I can do this till doomesday comes.
Here is my question, How can I get past this logon issue and set my pc back to an earleir time. Thanks of any help Larry
