Hello!
Well done, but there is a bit of an issue. Repairing the corruptions is the fix, but the method is wrong. You are also lucky that the corruptions were that easy.
However, I bet that you changed the permissions and ownerships to perform this fix. This is really, really dire. Vista and 7 rely on permissions. Every single one of yours systems is now a timebomb, waiting for catastrophic failure when the next range of hefty updates comes along. I try to stress this to people all the time, but people never beleive me.
I would strongly recommend performing a System Restore now, and I can fix it properly. To prevent damage, the System Update Readiness Tool has built in curative ability for these corruptions. I would have used these safe methods.
For bigger corruptions, there are other methods.
For everyone: Please seek advice, and stick with me, rather than trying to manually fix it yourself.
It is your computer. I cannot force you. I can only encurage. If you want, I can try to help you fix permissions and ownership, but missing one can be unfixable down the road.
