Ok, I totally foobar-ed my computer. I did what was mentioned above, and 
when I restarted and logged on, Windows logged me right off. I tried 
logging in as Administrator, same thing. So I booted into Safe Mode and 
removed all the settings, restarted, same problem. I'm posting this from 
my laptop. (mmmmm.... Fedora :) If it weren't for the homework I need to 
do in VB, and the programs people want me to write *in Windows* I'd 
strip down that hard drive and install Fedora Core 2.

Grrrr.... Stupid Spyware....
