userenv.dll problem?
3 min read
Hi Bluesnapper
First off, let me hear if you have been or are using IE8 beta??
Secondly, have you recently experienced any other problems
with your user-profile?
regards Abydos
Re IE8.
Yes I did, thought I would give it a try, caused more problems than it was worth so I got rid and went back to IE7.
Re user profile.
Not that I am aware of. But when booting up my PC is taking longer to get to the splash screen (the one with the blue progress bar moving across). The screen then goes blank (instead of going onto to the usual user log in screen) and can take 20 or 30 seconds before the user log in screen appears.
Could you please do the following.
We are going to take a peek only, into your registry.
So no pilfering yet
Goto start
Click Run
Type: Regedit
The registry editor will now open.
Follow this string in the registry tree.
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions=
In the right pane window, see if you can locate:
{CF7639F3-ABA2-41DB-97F2-81E2C5DBFC5D}",,0x00000000,"Internet Explorer Machine Accelerators"
Report your findings.

Could only go as far as {CF7639F3-ABA2-41DB-97F2-81E2C5DBFC5D}
The right hand pane says:
AB(Default)
REG_SZ
value not set
Also noticed that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions\{7B849a69-220F-451E-B3FE-2CB811AF94AE} had the same entry in the right pane.
Good job
Its no problem you couldn't locate the last bit.
Before we go editing in your registry, I would like you to
download this program:
Erunt
Install and run the tool.
Use this guide on how to backup
Erunt Backup Guide
Next locate the registry entry once again (use above info)
Highlight by clicking the {CF7639F3-ABA2-41DB-97F2-81E2C5DBFC5D}
Choose Export in the Files menu
Close the registry editor
Delete the file now located on your desktop
That should be it.
This is a common un-install issue with IE8, and nothing to worry about.
Regards and happy Christmas

Hi Bluesnapper
That one might have to go also, as it is also a string belonging to IE8.
But delete the first one first, and see how it behaves.

Problem?
I have done that but if I go back into the regedit process and I have seen that that entry is still there.
Should I have deleted it also from that list as well as the Desktop?

Yes please. Sorry about that.
