Alright, I've noticed this once before but I assume it fixed itself or something. But I was messing with 'msconfig' and 'CCleaner' when I noticed after a restart all my folders (My Documents, Control Panel, stuff like that) are titled oddly. Since I lack the knowledge of window terms I will have to compare this to an internet window.
now, Where it would say the Title for this HTML page "The Computer Forums", you would see the term Control Panel for the Control Panel folder and My Documents for the My Documents folder right? Ok so in this example If this webpage were a folder, the only thing I would see in that top area would be a letter "T". To continue, My Documents shows up as just "M" and Control Panel would show up as just "C". This applies to all my folders (Local Disk shows up as L also). Is there a way to fix this? Its not really affecting any files but its really odd to see a window titled with a single letter when I KNOW it isn't supposed too. It makes me feel like something else is wrong that I haven't found yet. I uh.. attached a file just in case nobody understands what I mean. Its a pic of the top left corner of the folder labeled Documents and Settings... See how it shows up as just a "D"? Yea... thats whats bothering me. |

Negative on that. I don't use system restore on account of the viruses that hide themselves there. I don't remember the last time I used it.... I would loose all my important data

i was under the impression that system restore only rolls back the system config and no too much else...

It does. Are you saying Descrasnezul that you have disabled system restore?

1. Use your virus scanner to perform a complete check of your computer.

So you say you where "playing" with msconfig? msconfig is not play it is work so the quickest way to undo this would be to go back into msconfig and reverse your changes {if you wrote them down if not stay out unless you realy know what your doing] (you know how CCleaner says back up redisty before cleaning) did you do this if so use that back up.
Some Xp disk can be used to fix errors like this so try that. And if all eles fails just start renaming the folders manally.... may or may not work depending on if it resets every time the comp restarts. haven't read the 2 post referance above all the way but it seems like there more for malwhare but try some scans you may have some thing. |
