Carol,
Unfortunately I missed the 5 default window and can't get back using scanreg or system
restore.
I know my post was sketchy but I restored my sytem in December in that created a
folder and in that folder is the application (see 2nd post) that I'm asking if I
can use to get my system back to what it was then.
I believe that I lost all of my accessories & programs on the start menu by deleting
a program and then running a registry cleaner. I've learned a lesson there!
