Okay is the .ini file configured to open with notepad? Right click > Properties

Sure, that's how I was able to compare them. And yes I can make changes there as well

RE: When looking for ANYTHING accessible on C: every access reverts to this folder -

C:\Users\Administrator\Lar-PC.001\

You appear to be using the built in Admin account instead of your own user account elevated to admin?

I'm not expert on this so I'm just asking the question.

Now that I can't tell you. Only that as I showed in that grab what I am able to see is in that administrator folder not in the Windows or windows system folder. Or anything on C:. And even in that folder as you can see many aspects of that are inaccessible.

Also run Elevated Command Prompt and use whoami

Anyway it looks to me like you'd have to logon to the hidden admin account and see if you can get access that way but wait for confirmation from Pyprohly before trying that. Like I said - I'm not too sure.

For this one I don't have access. Access denied when asking for cd c:/ or \

As far as I can work out lar-pc is your computer name as should be shown in Control Panel> System> Advanced System Settings> Computer Name.

User name is "Administrator" which is the account used to log on.

Not sure what this Lar-PC.001 is about.

Have you set computer name to Lar-PC.001 ?
