  • Explorer is run via the registry entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    But you cannot run any .exe programs? So you cannot check the registry entry for this?

    That's correct I can't run any .exe files at all. Nor .cpl files.


    Thanks for all these suggestions guys. I'd be lost without them :)

    Just getting ready to reinstall. Anyone got any last ditch attempts?

    Sorry, it appears to download a small file now, rather than the whole thing. Alternatives are winpe/bartpe or linux rescue cds.
