Reply to Registry editing... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hi Shameless - yep there are a few possibilities, apparantly even spybot itself in advanced mode can in some circumstances trigger this event if not used entirely correctly. Gotta say tho, were it me as a non-techie I would wanna check there wasn't a virus causing the problem, cos if there is it will probably re-occur ? - plus I may be helping to spread it. At least if there is a known variant showing up it can be cross checked on Google to see what the cure is for any changes

If it is a result of a virus then the fixswen.inf file at this link may be the answer you need. http://vil.nai.com/vil/averttools.asp I know it has worked for some people with a virus but yet again its a case of horses for courses - so double check before using Oh yeh - normally when cleaning an XP system it is necessary to disable System Restore in order to avoid re-infecting you

Yeh I think spbyot would have picked up a spyware problem but you haven't mentioned what anti-virus software your running. Just cos it might save some work you might like to try this http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ Its a locate and destroy facility for virus's (well respected). At least it should help eliminate the possibity of a virus. Its self executing so you will probably be able to run it without problems. Oh by the way if you are running XP - state whether you

After yesterday this is just asking for trouble, but if your running windows NT/2000/2003/XP and you wish to copy your registry before making any alterations (a recommended procedure) I think this is worth taking a look at. http://home.t-online.de/home/lars.hederer/erunt/ The program is free and called Erunt - I found it very easy to use.

I think this may have changed yet again now (probably in response to the forthcoming Googlemail stuff) and you can now get POP3 with Yahoo by subscribing free to Yahoo Deliver. Just as an extra thought - I generally get sysmetrix to simply launch Incredimail from the e-mail buttons as my default mail client. [Message Edited]

I get the newer build message - but haven't had any difficulties loading the skins - just sort of got to shrug it off for now - the xymantix site is up front that this is an untested developmental build.

For me, absolutely drowning in a creative block at the moment, I have been checking around the site a lot trying to find a point on which I can focus.

My point here is that this site if you explore properly has either on it, or has links to, a wealth of information and expertise. If I compare it to the price of a half-decent instructional book it
