windows explorer has stopped working
Hi, I'm a newbie here, not awfully computer literate... as I got myself into a mess. I hope someone here can help me.
A couple of days ago I installed some software from the internet and uninstalled it almost immediately. I do remember haven given permission to an interactive connection and was even stupid enough to give my computer password ... I remember having seen a message with a port being assigned to it. Afterwards I got suspicious and going over my user accounts I noticed permissions to an unknown user account and also an interactive account. I wanted to get rid of those asap. The accounts did not show up among the user accounts in the Control Panel and I eliminated the unknown account in my user account in c:\users. I also denied and/or eliminated some inheritance permissions. I can't recall exactly what I did and where, but now windows explorer has stopped working for the only user account (with admin privileges) I have. I can only work from the admin account.
This user account also doesn't work when booting in safe mode.
Can someone please help me ? I am afraid of making things worse if I touch more stuff without knowing what I'm doing.
