i can uncheck the check mark in properties of the task bar but it has no effect? if i push aply and go out of it and check if i can change the task bar it is still locked when i go back into properties it changed itself to locked again realy odd? i wonder what other settings this hacker has changed, i just happen to notice this as the size of the icons in the taskbar had changed.

been looking into this just before going to bed and it seems connected with an auto winlogin procedure so the hacker set some auto login feature that accidently changed the taskbar back to default? all thx to steam i reported earlier that my computer was tampered with while playing multiplayer games through them and there response was that it was too much trouble on behalf of the hacker to do that , at that instance my user interface was gone so i couldnt see my crosshair and other info bit hard to play then in a fps game. You got to give it to them they are a smart lot, im off to bed now i was going to get my day rythm back and this exercise isnt helping ;P I read that creating a new user and copying all but the ntuser data to that might work , but when i tried this i got the error that 6,66 gb (if you are supersticious u might think the devil is behind this ;) couldnt be copyed due to hd space being full. saw the original size was 15 gb of user data, thats quite alot ;) Im going to sleep now and will read this thread and hope some one has come up with an easier solution then copying 15gb of data on an almost full hd.

sorry to hear your troubles but the image is cool

Wonderful capture Sorry to hear of your problems with the computer hope you get them solved quickly
