download ccleaner and scan the registry for errors and fix them. Also, go into startup and post a screeny will ya.

Heres the startup image:

MSServer
cmds
Ptipbmf

Those are the three dll's you should have deleted, also delete those entries while you are at it, if they keep coming back, then you didn't delete them properly ...

Also, what the hell is the firefox optimizer?

Did you install that?

some other things you can remove (that are more useless than annoyances)
Adobe speed reader launcher
SunJavaUpdateSched
iTunesHelper (may be useful to you, i dunno)

Thanks
EdIt: Just rebooted, those 2 error messages are now gone, thanks a lot to everyone who helped, especially ipab.

But still, when my computer turns on, the whole screen is black and the Documents window comes up, but only that. Again, The way ive got around this is by ending explorer.exe and running it again but i want to know why it does this and how / if i can stop it

Run this with admin previliges (right click and select "Run as Administrator".

Note that this script makes changes to your registry so do a backup before you run it.

Thanks but its still not working. Could it be because its an xp script? OR is it because there is no "run as administrator option when i right click it?

It's the run as problem, no proper admin previliges....

I'll just write a program quickly and give it to you... just sit tight.

EDIT: Fuck I don't have VS installed after my formatting... I'll just give you the reg keys to edit.


EDIT 2: Go to HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon.

Look at the string value for  Userinit.

It should just be C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe, (note the comma)

This is assuming that your windows installation is on the C drive.

If there is anything else, remove/replace it with what I posted above and restart.

The string value is already set to that

Are you sure it isn't duplicated twice or anything like that?

Post a screeny for me please.

EDIT:

Try this

go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Look for a string called Shell

Edit it and put in explorer.exe
