If I run ccleaner will it detect the registry changes, or try to fix them? Thanks in advance. Quick question. If I run ccleaner will it detect the registry changes, or try to fix them?

I've been having a few issues with this process though. After attempting to delete the C:\ProgramData folder and failing, I continued with the process as suggested. But upon editing the registry and rebooting, I've found that anything requiring administrative permissions simply won't load (this includes regedit and cmd as admin). Likewise, I cannot use cmd to delete the C:\ProgramData folder either. I've tried reverting by deleting the junctions and copying the Program Files, Users, and ProgramData folders back in their entirety, but since regedit still won't open, I can't undo those changes made to the registry. I figure I can always reinstall Windows, since this is a fresh install with no other files yet, but I thought I'd check in here to see if anyone else has a solution for this first. Thanks for any assistance you could render me! Hey Duffy,

At his Step #4, the System Recovery Options DOES NOT ask if I want to attempt recovery. And when I click the "Next" button, instead of being offered a list of tools I get an error message that says: “This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair…” Have you got another way of getting into the System Recovery Command Prompt?

Awesome instructions. For people who are struggling to remove the 3 folders left in C:\, please do the following. Insert Windows 7 CD Boot into Win7 setup Once your mouse becomes active, Press Shift+F10, no need to click continue or anything else, just Shift+F10 Follow the steps above to use the RMDIR command and mklink commands... After that, you can type in REGEDIT and do the registry modifications from there. after that is done, reboot the machine using the following command: Shutdown /r /t 0 Hi Duffy
