Ok... I'm using Home Premium. I was using it happily until one day, I
download two EXTRA key values from www.howtogeek.com for slow motion when a
window starts. After I reboot, everything start out fine, but until the part
where the desktop and the mouse comes in, I can only see the mouse,
everything other than that is completely black. I deleted the 2 EXTRA key
values, and run the scans, but its still black after reboot! I can only go to
task manager every time and start explorer.exe, in order to use my computer...

Could you give us a link to the page on that website where the registry file
and instructions are available. Include any other details that you can
remember about exactly what was done.

well for a quick fix u could put explorer.exe in the startup folder. u
could also check the registry and see if it is in there.

Registry is accessed as it has always been

RUN > type in <regedit> press <enter>

To find the startup folder, you can do a search much as you would for
anything else.

You can then create a shortcut to it on your desktop..

The registry is usually on the computer. The startup folder is also there.

Wow, impressive skills, retard. I find it hilarious that you actually work
in IT. I'm glad I don't with moronic idiots like you messing everything up.
Haven't you been fired yet? Your number has to be up soon, LOL!

It looks a bit of a do-all swiss-army knife thing, which does not interest
me. What additions does it have to the core file manager? Can you install
it without all the addon apps?
