Windows 7 administrator: can't restart, shutdown, execute anything
Hi all,
I have Windows Seven Ultimate running on a machine just fine for about half a year. After installing some piece of software related to android rooting, I found myself unable to do anything on the computer, as launch windows explorer, restart shutdown, start any other program, as this error appears:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

I rebooted by power cycle into Safe mode. There I didn't encountered any problems, I was able to start programs, I uninstalled the latest software I installed before this problem, but this didn't solved the problem.
Also, while in Safe Mode, I created another admin user but is behaves the same way as the original user I have on this machine.
Anyone saw this before?
