I've screwed up my xp ... can someone help?
Saturday, February 1, 2003 by Yagbols | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Okay, I accidentally deleted my boot.ini and bootbak.bat and other boots files like that. I was deleting all my boot and logon randomizer program. now everytime i try to switch user it asks for the user and pass like it would in a networked win 98 or 2000 not the usual nice lookin xp style user and pass logins.
The program i used was LogonUi Boot Randomizer found at ......... http://members.rogers.com/userxp/indexlbr.htm
how can i reset my logon settings to its very original ...setting ?
thanks

deleting boot.ini is a very serious blunder....
I'd say you got to start from scratch.
Unless one of our more savvy programmers can help you re-create it.

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but in this case it might be worth a try. Download and install Logonstudio https://www.stardock.com/products/logonstudio/download.html then selectct restore XP defaults. The button is on the bottom left of center. It might work for you and save you a re-install of XP. Like I said it may or may not work.

How about looking in your recycle bin first. If the files you deleted are there, restore them. Or you could also try using system restore. If all else fails reformat and re-load as wombat_1 suggests

It's possible that System Restore might work in this case....

Use the newest restore point to where you actually deleted the files....

Times like this 'Go Back' is a 'Good Thing', but maybe sysrestore might work.

Install safe mode while your at it Help and support will tell you How to do it
any future blunders can be fixed with safe mode I think. I should Know I've made some big blunders myself.

Program menu, accessories, system tools ,system restore.
you can restore back to a date before problem .as long as system restore has been on .
