this is what i have but i didn't understand part three how do you get on registry editor

[mcbeatbox937]

@Dazmo95 If you go into HKEY_USERS, one of the folders under there will be for your account...probably one of the ones with a long name of numbers and letters like "S-1-5-21-...". Open this up and look under the Software folder, then look in the Classes folder inside Software. If you find folders named .exe and secfile, deleted them.

Well there a problem now, with the new internet security xp 2011, you cant run regedit. Nor go in safe mode. Nor do ANYTHING.
