![]() Regarding your system's issues (like broken/missing user shell folders value), you could try - Windows Repairs as it's designed for handling precisely these types of issues (broken system components and settings). JRT's first step (that it reports) is creating restore point, if i typed Ctrl-C as the 'any key' to get jrt started, then typing Ctrl-C at this point does provide the "Terminate batch job?" prompt.īut if i typed another key, then Ctrl-C is ignored during creating restore point, and only works in later steps.Īlso jrt is printing several "The system cannot find the path specififed." error messages between "press any key" and "creating restore point." And typing Ctrl-C at the very first "press any key to continue." prompt does not interrupt the batch script, just causes jrt to continue executing. One other interesting phenomena is that the initial screen of jrt says click the to exit, but when i do that, nothing happens. Of course if you put qoutes around the "%userprofile%" it's fine. So if you do eg echo %userprofile% in cmd it results in two commands, delimited by the ampersand, and the error "bob is not recognized as a internal or external command.". The username contains the '&' (ampersand) character, say, "alice&bob". ![]() I repopulated that registry key, and things improved.īut the only symptom now is JRT problems. This meant that, eg, the %AppData% environment variable had no value and programs were creating %AppData% folders in their current working directories all over the file system. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders I suspect this PC has damage from malware. And a pair of those was the last thing it forked. Watching in process explorer, it was forking reg.exe and GREP.DAT processes repeatedly. The final message in the cmd window was "Checking registry" which had been there for 2-5 minutes. It just stopped, no error message, no log, no. I downloaded from BleepingComputer Junkware Removal Tool (JRT) and it did not find anything but crashed in the middle. ![]() I downloaded from BleepingComputer AdwCleaner and it found and cleaned things. I have not run another root kit detector, altho MBAM's anti-rootkit was enabled. It also has MalwareBytes Antimalware (paid) running daily scans but not real time. The PC has Avast Internet Security, and SuperAntispyware (both paid) running when windows starts. I have a thinkpad which had malware that I am assuming was cleaned. ![]() Malwarebytes Junkware Removal Tool Support.Endpoint Detection & Response for Servers ![]()
