Deleted Default User Desktop.ini files and more

[Guest]

I deleted the desktop.ini files for the Default User, Local Service and
Network Service.

Now I'm still getting 'UserEnv' warnings and errors:

I have UPH User Profile Hive Cleanup running and reinstalled SP2-logged on
SafeMode, but just realized that I deleted(I'm not sure when) all of the
desktop.ini that were in the folders for Default User, Local Service and
Network Service .

How do I 'restore' those?
I'm running XP Pro with Office XP. There are two user accounts in addition
to the Admin and Guest account on a standalone pc.

Also, I know I have some of the Services account settings wrong--The logon
as tab. I changed some and then tried to return to the original settings, but
not sure how much damage was done during that ordeal.

Would a repair install be the best solution?

You problem is probably due to messing around with the Services Logon as
settings and such.

Check to see if you have the original delivered registry ... it is usually
under C:\Windows\system32\systemprofile ( or something like that). The
folder is 'systemprofile'.

In that folder you should see your original registry files. You could load
the SOFTWARE file u in regedit (See Loading Hive files), check each
questionable Service in that hive for the actual Logon As user.

Or, go to another system similar to yours, and export the list:

1. Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services
2. Click on Action | Export List..., save it to file
3. Print the file and verify against your current settings.

In most cases, deleting the 'desktop.ini' file has no impact on MOST
folders. Usually, it contains Icon information, Resource Name.

So far, the only places I have found where desktop.ini has additional
information is naming .lnk files in Accessories folder, and in some cases
the My Documents folder.
