Hi ms

I use CCleaner; but suggest only run ccleaner immediately before shutting
down. If you use the "clean at bootup" option, it will disable System
Restore and you will get a "cannot run SR, restart your computer" message.
Of course if you run Ccleaner at startup you will emulate the well known
Oozlum bird and run around in ever decreasing circles ...

Also if you run Spybot, suggest disable Teatimer, this prevents SR from
making System Restore points although you can still make Manual Points

Mike M may recall these points from an earlier thread started by me earlier
this year ...

Two points and a possible solution.
1) The command is SCANREG /RESTORE, note the space between scanreg and
the forward slash.
2) Using TweakUI will not have removed the Accessories folder. TweakUI
does not include such functionality which would involve the deletion of
a folder. TweakUI doesn't delete folders, just make changes to the
registry.

First check that the Accessories folder wasn't accidentally dragged into
another folder on the Start Menu. If not then you will need to rebuild
the folder by recreating the folder Accessories in Windows\Start
Menu\Programs and then populating it with the sub-folders you require
such as System Tools and then making shortcuts to the various utilities
and placing those shortcuts in either the Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories folder or its sub-folders.

For example the System Tools folder simply contains shortcuts to
applications rather than the application concerned so all that it
necessary, if you cannot find the folder, is to create another and then
populate it with new shortcuts to the various applications concerned.
I've listed below the various entries and the targets for the shortcuts.

Thanks Mike. Didn't realize it's just a normal folder that I can create in
the usual way. And I will run System Restore to see about it. Again,
several experts say to dump it.

scanreg:
I typed scanreg... just as in a MS appnote, although I use it frequently

in
W98SE. Pretty sure I had it right, but will try again.

Item I forgot to reply to Jack's post, I ran the latest Stinger, it found
nothing. (I assume you folks know about that one?) And used CCleaner to
clean out the garbage from previous owner.

I will fight the password screen, but that's the usual stuff. On my
machines, it has never been easy, and it was caused on this machine after
(I did something ?) I used Tweakui.

Yes, I run CCleaner at shutdown, it is agressive so you have to carefully
select what to clean. It works so well I removed 3 other cleaners.

And yes, I disabled TeaTimer long ago, even w/o a firewall, I still got
error messages. I use WinPatrol instead.
