How do you reboot to MS DOS in XP?

[BiggerStronger]

type regedit on the command line
CLICK ON HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
CLICK ON SOFTWARE
CLICK ON MICROSOFT
CLICK ON WINDOWS
CLICK ON CURRENT VERSION
CLICK ON RUN
GO TO FILE > EXPORT (THIS WILL MAKE A BACKUP OF THE LIST IN CASE YOU DELETE SOMETHING BY MISTAKE)

FROM HERE IT WILL HAVE A LISTING OF PROGRAMS THAT AUTOMATICALLY RUN WHEN WINDOWS STARTS. DELETE ALL OF THE LISTINGS THAT LOOK UNFIMILIAR. THIS WILL PREVENT THE SPYWARE FROM STARTING.

If you need some more help just pm me.

OK you definitely don't know what you are doing if you asked that question and I won't be party to the destruction of your PC so my advice is: get someone who knows his way around a PC to do yours properly. There is a 98% chance of you screwing something up irreparably if you do it yourself.

no back in junior high I used to get boot disks and take fortress off of the computers at school, then set a boot password and put porn as the background, man it was great they had to reformat so many harddrives

whats the code line to delete something in DOS?

[Thors]

You can hold down the F8 key during reboot and select "safe mode with command prompt". That will allow you to browse your file system even if it's NTFS. As IM said, only do this if you know what your doing. Most "good" spy-ware will have a different program somewhere that will replicate that dll right back when you reboot so it may not help anyway.

Use a DOS boot disk Mr. Impatience. I suggest you only do this if you KNOW what you are doing.
