Marsden Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 The lesson here is don't mess with your Registry files unless you back them up first. Unless you have a backup handy or a recent Restore Point available... your next step is a complete XP reinstall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 the registry is very very dangerous place if u don't know what u are doing.i think you don't know that if u right click your my documents on your desktopyou can specify a new Target directory.lets say for example target is F:\My Documentsmy picturesmy musicmy whatever will automatically be created inside the target.u then use regsnap to take a picture before and afterthen u take that registry tweak and put it into your U.A.

jpatto Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Just before you decide to reformat your drive try and create another user acount and see if that resolves majority of your issues. Ive suggested this as you medled around with HKEY_CurrentUser key and not local machine which may create a new account without problems if it does then copy your files over and take advice from the previous posts - well take advice from the previous posts anyway.......
