Hello,

got a winXP box who just had its domain changed... meaning its main profile changed as well, from \user to
\user.domain. We had to copy all the files to the new profile. Everything works great, except we have two notepad files starting up at boot; whitelist.txt and filters.txt. They get placed in the startup folders, but removing them from the startup as well as removing them from the registry don't seem to help.

Asking on this forum because you would probably be more familiar with whitelists than I am. I'm figuring it either has to do with:
XP firewall
Outlook junk-mail filters
ihatespam install
ihatepopups install.

Any broadbased advice?
Thanks


the user also has ihatespam and ihatepopups installed.

 
Just guessing... That would probably be from the IhateSpam. I would uninstall it and remove those entries again. Then reinstall it and see if they go away....

Thanks,
