Your first post is there, and *mike* replied to it.
There's another easy solution: from the directory C:\windows\repair, copy
the files autoexec.nt and config.nt to the directory C:\windows\system32,
overwriting the excisting files. When done, set the "read-only" attribute
to the files you just copied (in C:\windows\system32) so they can't be
altered by some bogus programs.
