Click Start, Run and type in this command:

regsvr32 devmgr.dll




... and don't delete anymore files.

AAAHHHH Recycle bin!

Now why didn't I think of that? Always a good place to start when wanting to recover deleted files etc.....

As mucks said no more deleting files!!! Youv'e been told. lol

Glad you got it sorted

Cheers,

Rich
