Hi FIFI -

Also, please do this. create this batch on the friend's machine, and carry it to the affected machine, so you can copy/paste and not potentially cause any syntax errors.

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the codebox below into it:

Code:

 
@echo off
If exist C:\peek.txt del /q /s C:\peek.txt
regedit /a C:\peek.txt "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" 
start notepad C:\peek.txt

Save this as peek.bat Choose to "Save type as - All Files"
It should look like this:

Carry this batch to the affected machine.

Double click on peek.bat & allow it to run

Post back the contents of the notepad file which opens.
