I beleive I deleted a reg key by accident while tryingt o elminate some spyware...now the desktop has on the left 1/4 of the screen a status bar of sorts ...when i click a file or folder on the desktop it shows the info on that bar for that folder or file. anyway its permanitly pinned to the desktop and i cannot seem to figure out how to fix it? any suggestions?
you have tryed the obvious things like rebooting right?
yes..
do you remember what keys you deleted? or try rolling back where you booted from (xp has a feature like this) or do a system restore or repair.
Hopefully your ad/spyware remover quarantined the files and keys it removed, if so put the quarantined files back into the system and rerun the remover.
Check off everything manually leaving system registry keys unchecked (yes, it will take awhile).
Depending what remover you're using, you can hit 'select all' then just uncheck the keys you don't want removed.
Hope that helps, if not then sorry I'm new at all this. :p
well, I havent tried a system restore.....maybe i should...The files are no where to be found and i haveno way of knowing what file it was. I have no backup :(
Could you get a picture of it, so I could better understand what you are saying? If you do not have a screen capture program -->http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/gmm/fwscreen.html
