regedit.exe instead of Explorer.exe 2

[gagar]

Start with regedit.exe instead of Explorer.exe

When I turn on the computer it shows
Welcome…
Starting windows…
And then opens the regedit, I close it and there is only the background no icons no task bar no Start Menu
I run task manager (ctrl+alt+del), run explorer.exe and everything shows to be normal again

It seems like a virus, but I scan already with an antivirus and found nothing.

The user believe this happen after he install PCMitghymax

Uninstall PCMitghymax, still the same

Somebody have a clue ?
Thank you

Hi, Try using a Restore Point that is prior to your install of that program..Also use msconfig to see what is in the startup stuff..

When you finally get into Explorer or even with the first loaded Regedit, check out this location in the Registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Check that the Value @ Shell = Explorer.exe and not Regedit.exe.

Thank you for your answers Turkbear and linney,

I checked the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

@ Shell = Explorer.exe .... is Ok

@ Userinit = c:/windows/regedit /s
change to ....
Userinit = c:/windows/system32/userinit.exe

Now is working ok.

Thank you too, and don't forget the trailing comma after Explorer exe, like this.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,
