Computer Trouble
It seems my Windows "View Registry" has been wiped out. On every boot up, I have to rebuild my Desk Top and reset a bunch of other stuff. Generally, is there any way to repair this or should I plan to reload Windows?
I'm running Windows XP.
Thanks!

Can you restore to an earlier date ?

Dave,
try running Malwarebytes Antimalware to make sure you don't have any nasty stuff.. Also a virus scan wouldn't hurt..
If you know when this started acting up you can try a system restore like Tim mentioned..
What version of Windows you running??
