Control Panel - User Accounts Problem

[war59312]

Hey,

This is very strange and do not have a clue how this happened. When I try to access User Accounts in Control Panel it tries to open it with NotePad and says:

"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

lol WTF

Anyone know how to fix without repairing windows?

Did you try to restore default settings ?

Tools--folder options

A viiri.
Scan your system, reboot into safe mode and run this regfile:

Code:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\exefile\shell\open\command] @="\"%1\" %*" 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\batfile\shell\open\command] @="\"%1\" %*" 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\comfile\shell\open\command] @="\"%1\" %*" 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\piffile\shell\open\command] @="\"%1\" %*" 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\scrfile\shell\open\command] @="\"%1\" %*"

Just made some quick thinking, not sure this will be the cure (on the other hand it won't make any harm).

Well try when i reboot next.

Anyways no virus, must have been damn spyware that I removed a few weeks ago.

I leaned my lesson a long time ago. lol
