Edit these values and type the correct path of shell : Shell = explorer.exe Userinit=X:\windows\system32\userinit.exe NOTE: These files may also be deleted by spywares. You may need to extract them using Windows CD. Steps for rectifying this problem:

Log on to a networked computer.

Run Regedit.exe

Point your cursor to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Select File > Connect Remote Registry

Type computer name (infected computer)

Navigate to the following location in registry of destination or infected computer HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Edit these two values in right pane: Shell Userinit

Change these two values to Shell=explorer.exe Userinit = x:\windows\system32\userinit.exe

Exit from Registry

Restart Infected computer.

You should be able to log on to computer.
