Are There any Nasties Left? HJT log included

I'll get to the homepage soon but this is what happened re the wall paper..
navigated to(in the affected user account) c:\documents and settings\user name\..............thats as far as i can go...local documents is missing. So i switched users to a non-affected one.....i can find the affected user there all the way to wallpaper1.......odd
so i renamed that to wallpaper_old and could change the wallpaper to that pic, only it's the non affected user's wallpaper.

I switched back to the problem user account and tried finding the file via right clicking on start/explore/kids(user account)....same problem..local documents still missing.

So I checked further.....every user if accessed from the problen user account is missing the local documents folder.

Try (within the affected account), clicking on Start -> Run and type in the following:
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft
Click OK. Does that bring up a folder containing wallpaper1?

it brings up both wallpaper thumbnails..wallpaper 1 and wallpaper_old.
Above that in the white area i get "no preview available" but if i click on the thumbnails the wallpapers will be displayed.


Also, I have fixed the homepage problem. I used the do not hijack homepage fix in Superantispyware.

I still cannot set these previews as desktop wallpaper
Perhaps I should just delete the user account and start a new one?????

Sorry about the delay, you can try deleting the wallpaper1 and seeing if that makes a difference. At this point, though, I would suggest that creating a new User Account would be the easiest way to solve the problem.

no problem with the delay...after re-reading my post I thought I may have led you to believe i had fixed everything ( ha ha ha )

I also discovered that I cannot open windows live messenger or the recycle bin....so I am going to attempt to remove the user account altogether.....will post the result (successful or not).

 

[leanneqld]

OK....quick and easy, deleted the user and created a new one. Everything works as it should.

ceewi1.......many many thanks for all your help. It is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Leanne
