Thank you for both of your responses. I fixed someone's computer and it was set up well; but his kids took off Spybot and Ad-Aware a year ago and he's had no anti-virus for a year. He let's his kids do anything.
He should assert his rights as adminisrator, but is too laid back.
I'm just trying to ressurect the dead, but so it goes!
Thanks again.
BTW: It's still screwed up. I'm recommending he takes it to a shop for an XP reinstall. I've done it before and in 2 weeks they'd clicked on all the floating balloons AND POPUPS so you can guess what it ran like.
I've offerred to reinstall if he watches and takes notes, but he lacks the motavation.
