Yeah, I was answering Nick's question there
I don't know why it happened either, but it's quite common for a user's registry settings to mess up for no apparent reason. Creating a new user account often solves all sorts of strange problems like software not installing or not working properly etc.
It's just that otherwise you might have to trawl the net looking for solutions and then mess about with all sorts of settings and registry entries whereas creating a new account is usually quicker, easier and safer.
If that doesn't work, then you will have to do the hard work anyway!

Cheers Cyco.
Do I just go to accounts and delete it? If so, will it give me the option to save everything, or do I have to back it all up before hand.

Yes, it asks if you want to save their personal files which is basically "My Documents" and Internet favourites.
TIP:
Create a new user first before deleting the old one to check that it works
If it does, delete the old account and rename the new one.

Just created a new account and tried it, and that is the same as my daughters.
Something very strange here.

Stick Firefox on and see if it works in that? It might sort Internet Explorer out too if it does!

I have already tried what you suggested, and all is still the same.
Cheers Anyway.

Are you using XP pro? If so, you should be able to log in as administrator in safe mode, and claim ownership of the file.
However, I came across a bug once where it still won't let you delete it after you've done that, so good luck!
Im using vista, but i will try doing that anyway. cheers.
edit: ok, stupid question time, how do you start safe mode with vista?
i hit f8 at startup and am left with a menu with 2 options:
1. cd/dvd drive
2. sata(?) hard drive
when i hit 2 it just starts up normal.
