Re: Registry in Safe Mode

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Maurice, I went into Safe Mode\w Networking and still cannot click on
Hkey_Classes_Root\.lnk when I do I get the error message Error Opening Key
(X) Cannot open .lnk: Error while opening key.
Now when I open My Computer I can open Adware Plus and run it, but if I try
to run if from the desktop I get the error message Winodws cannot open this
file; File: Ad-Watch Se Plus.lnk, to open this file go to internet.ect.

In the property the file is listed as Ad-ware Plus .lnk and is listed as an
application.
