Thanks, Bob. I'll keep that link. I managed a little backdoor stuff and got
it to boot to safe mode. And, guess what....there was the administrator and
NO password. Been cleaning up ever since. Adaware found 22 bad items and AVG
has found 30 Trojans so far!! I feel a bit sorry for this guy as it was the
jerk before him that let this get this way. Looks like I may triumph with
this one so thanks to everyone, as usual you are all great.
Jeff
