I just got done cleaning all kinds of nasty viruses, worms and other malware off this computer with McAfee, Avast, and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. One of the viruses is known for attaching itself to all .exe files. There were over 500 items detected.
So now I start up the XP Home Edition computer, enter the user password, it says "loading your personal settings" for a second or two, then says "logging off". I can see the desktop wall paper, but that's it. No shortcut items have time to load on the desktop. So I can never get to the desktop. It just keeps getting to this dead end.
Any suggestions besides reinstalling Windows.
