PNG's don't seem to be treated as graphic files anymore in my registry. Attempting to recreate the PNG listing in file associations doesn't "take" (i.e. will not stay in list). PNG's still not showing thumbnails. System Restore not an option, as it's been messed up on this particular computer...

I used CWShredder and removed everything they suggested, thinking I was doing a good thing to my registry. However, ever since then, the computer has been making noise as in being very busy. Also the mouse doesn't behave like before. Did I do something bad?
