    If you want a guaranteed way to hose an OS that's certainly the way to do it. At this point in time it looks like the OP will have to reset the PC as suggested earlier.

    Progress report: I restored my laptop and everthing is as it was the day I got it. Now just to reinstall everything and move all my files back across that I backed-up.

    HippsieGypsie and mrgeek, thank you very much for your help. Lesson learned I think. I will chalk this one down to experience not to try to tweak things too far! Thanks again for your help. *Smile

    Sometimes stuff happens. The first PC I ever owned (Windows 95) I crashed after an hour. I've no idea to this day what I did. Nor did the person who built it for me. I just remember he had to reinstall the OS. Another time I accidentally wiped my primary drive while attempting to install a different OS on another drive. Learned a lesson in backups on that one *Redface

    Anyway glad to hear you sorted your issue.

    Peace *Cool

    Good to hear that you're back in business ! Again, if you're tires of deleting those two folders, only to see them get re-created, just r-click properties and make them hidden files.
    Thanks for reporting back with your progress. Please mark your topic solved so others with the same problem can find this thread.
