Very interesting, I do think it had something to do with permissions as I
couldn't delete the stupid btiein key. I tried earlier changing permissions
to allow all, but still couldn't delete it. As posted above about system
restore, going back 1 month, seems to have gotten rid of it. I'm not sure
MS has perfected this profile thing. For example I cannot use explore to
see my son's my documents folder even though I'm the administrator. It says
access is denied. I guess this is because he goes into his profile with a
password (which I don't know). Shouldn't I be able to get there? Any way
to do this (he's a minor)? I think the owner of the computer should be able
to get to all "my documents" folders.
