Tips Fixes & FAQs
I entered the 3 commands as stated, and 10 minutes later, a Sytem Restore ocmpleted to a date prior to the issues starting and all of my lost data including my background picture is back.
I can now install, delete and move about. Now the search is on for the little bugger that got me hosed up in the first place.
Just passing on what may be some useful info for you all
