Userinit.exe - failed to Initialize

[Ben]

Well, I have a friends computer im suppose to fix, XP home Edition sp1
Was running slow and all, and not in a pretty site... Ran Adaware SE and
found like 350 files or so in the urgent section...

all was fine until reboot, goes fine until you click on a user, then comes
up this message... - Userinit.exe - failed to intialize - and had some
code, (didnt write down)

How would you go about fixing this?

Or what Registry Keys could i look at to make sure its all good?

If i cant find a solution, i'm just going to do a windows repair, but would
rather a different solution if can...
quick one... if i do a windows repair, would it delete all the icky things
in registry?
