ActiveX Control FIles
I made a terrible mistake! After Norton did a full scan and discovered some
adware stuff in the Window Downloaded Program Files folder, I deleted everything in there (including, it appears, the Norton Active X COntol files that control login and config). Suddenly the computer wouldn't boot up properly (displayed a Norton error message that it couldn't find config files); the Windows login window appeared blank (the three users I had installed were gone); Norton was gone; all my IE connection info was gone, etc, etc. Explorer shows the Downloaded Program Files folder to be empty but a dir comand under DOS shows 58 files in there!! All the files for the three users are still in the Windows Profile folder, but I can't login to them; setting up new user files just adds new user folders in Profiles. Two questions: 1. How can I get Windows to recognise the Norton Active X Control Files files still in the Downloaded Program Files folder? 2. If I can't get those to work, how can I set up new user logins to access the existing user files in Profiles? Thanks for your help!! Jon Z |
