In keeping with stupid human tricks, I was diligently cleaning out a virus yestreday (QAZ trojan). One of the duties to cloean this is to delete notepad.exe, delete note.com(whant QAZ renamed the Notepad.exe to originally) and wininit.exe. You then invited to reinstall both Notepad.exe and Wininit.exe.
Have not done that yet, but did search for wininit.* and found wininit.bak. So renamed it to wininit.exe. (BF Mistake!)
Now the fun part. On restarting my 'puter, I get WinME splash but that is all.
Trying to bypass windows and get to c: or a: prompt so I can go back and rename the exe file to a bak file.
Here is the really hard question - How do I get there on boot up?
Please advise so my family gets off my back.. Thanks.
