Hi Guys,

I have used Vista Ultimate SP 2 for 3 months ish.
It was an update from XP pro, and you guys have repaired my PC several times in its 2 year lifetime.
Recently, after a problem with the wiring on my MoBo it has gone Password barmy.
I am the administrator and also the "user" but the d*mn thing wants P/W's for everything.....EVERYTIME.
ALL the "remember me on this PC" squares are ticked......again.....and again.......and again.......and AGAIN.
Even if the PC hasn't been rebooted.
I use the freeby AVG and Malware Bytes; ALS I use CC Cleaner.
Previously, after using CC everything would ask for a full log-in, but only once, after a clean.
What have I done?

Make a new user account that is administrator and transfer all your files to that account. Login using the new account and see what happens. Do not transfer the whole User folder as it will transfer settings also.

I'm yet to come across a registry/file cleaner that doesn't do more damage than any good it may do. It's not a good idea to use one in my opinion.

Lesson learned grav!ty, CC gone.
NT50, when I boot I get the option of loading as me or "Administrator".
When I have gone in as admin it is a different desktop.
Can I use this Admin, also where is all me stuff, progs etc?
Thanks guys
