Hi !
Please help with a strange happening
Running Win XP Pro sp3 and all updates
When I close down XP at night (or at any time), the computer closes all the
programs and shuts down
When I restart the computer again. It will boot OK
Giving me the usual desktop with icons as well as everything in the task bar
I can move the cursor around the desktop but when I double click on a icon
nothing happens
Also I can not get any of the icons on the taskbar to work
But I have found out that if I "boot" into "safe mode" and go to a "restore
point"
Everything comes right except that I loose any settings I have made after
the restore point (understood)
To overcome this I have to create a restore point before shutting down
When I start the computer I have to start in safe made and boot to the last
restore point
I have run sfc. /scannow
Microsoft Malicious Removal Tool
Malware Bytes Anti-malware
Ad-Aware
Ad-Watch
Super Anti-Spyware
Loaris Trojan Remover
ESET Anti-Virus
C Cleaner among others
All coming up clean
Looks as if the computer is not shutting down as it should
Any suggestion
TIA
