I will get back to you on monday (few days off)

will cleaning up restore the autorun function?

[essexboy]

No but I can reset it for you

[ymhp]

all clean-up actions succesfully executed.
computer running smoothly

one suggestion to further improve the "clean-up manual": switch off the AVAST antivirus (saves quite a few warnings as well as a pop-up box that avast will interfere with the clen-=up process.

As said before: many thanks for your help.
one last question: how to turn on the autorun option
