Thank you Kerry. That sounds terrifying, even though I have to do it
about once a year anyhow. I might do it this wkend.

Greetings, once again. I did a repair reinstall of XP Pro/SP1 a few
days ago and it seems like every time I fix one of the inconsistencies
in it, another shows up. I'm having an access problem. Every time I
work on a file or directory, when I'm done with it, I'm refused access
to either move, delete, or work with it further. I've gone into
'Sharing & Security' and made myself the sole operator, administrator,
etc; gone into folder options and unchecked the simple file sharing
and use simple file sharing options, but I'm still receiving "access
denied: another person or program is using blah-blah-blah" messages.
I would like to know how I gain complete ownership of my computer,
scrap file sharing and the shared files directory from My Computer, or
can I?
Also, I plugged in an external HDD enclosure and now have two phantom
drives showing up whenever I boot, along with the additional drive.
I've disconnected, sprikled holey whine on it, voodoo'd it, but they
don't go away. I can take them out with the 'Safely Remove Hardware'
tool, but the next time I boot, they show up again. There are no
drives associated with either of them.
Any help I can get to permanently solve either or both of these
problems would be appreciated. If this isn't enough information, let
me know what else I need to explain & I'll fill in whatever blanks. I
hope I'm about done setting this thing up so I can actually use it
without having to stop mid-task to do some sort of reconfiguring.
Thanks much.
mn.
Looking at some of the other threads you have started it sounds like you
have been infected with malware to the point where you may have to start
again. Backup your data and perform a clean install erasing the hard drive
then restore your data.
