Yabba ... I've run into the same snag and found a reference at Kelleys
Korner item 251 (on the right side)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

I dl/d the file but am reluctant to use it til I know more about why
it happened and perhaps get some additional info from Kelley.

You probably know more about this than I do so I would appreciate any
input you might have .

Let me know how it goes ...

Kelly, there is also a new worm spreading. Trends will not detect it, but
Norton's and Mcafees are supposed to as of the last definetions.
It would be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Run\Wincfg.scr

The "Wincfg.scr" file is located in the system32 folder.
I found it on one of my systems while looking in the registry because of the
same problem, regedit,msconfig and taskmgr not working. I did a full system
scan with the newest versions of Adaware, Spybot S&D and Trends OfficeScan
all with the newest definations and none of them caught it. There is more
info here:
