[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1261024, member: 24160"] And thus why even my wife (tomorrow will be 32 years) is not allowed to log onto any of my machines via the admin account. For others reading this thread. [B]Lesson: Do not allow[/B] others to use your computer while logged into the admin account - period - ever... Don't care if they're your bffl, brother, sister, boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse... Agree with wheelguy about doing a fresh install at this point. But, there is no reason to take that drive out of the machine. If you haven't got an external for backups already, go and get one. Backup your data, make sure it's all there and works, re-partition, format and reinstall the OS to the internal drive. [/QUOTE]
