Hi
I can't save or open files through Internet Explorer, can't see any start menu items (unless I click on all programs), can't pin or see pinned items in the taskbar (only the opened ones)
-
Create a new user profile in Windows and log into that profile and see if it happens there as well.
That will let me know if the problem is just with the profile, or if it is system wide. :wink:

ok, the new profile works. how do I transfer everything from the old to the new. I want to keep the app settings also, not just the files in the user folders. I've heard about xcopy deployment, but don't know much about it.
-
That depends on the program. Some programs keep settings in a file under your profile while others keep settings in the registry of the current user.
Moving the files over isnt hard to do, it will be the registry keys, not to mention that since the problem is in the registry of the profile we want to be careful of what we import over. :wink:
I forgot to ask, what version of Windows?
