Yup.
I tried that right away, I even tried editing the registry "off-line" to set
permissions, that just got me a system that would not boot.
I'm up and running again thanks to a registry merge with a backup from two
weeks ago.
I could swear it was always there, but I work on so many computers I just
ain't sure.
The two computers I'm speaking of were both "upgraded" from 98se to XP all
legit product codes (I'm a Microsoft partner too)

I'm gonna Google the upgrade thing maybe that's something?
I've already scanned for virus, rootkits, and malware (even with UBD4win)
