I have two accounts in my Vista Ultimate, a User and Admin.

User one works fine but all the 'executables' in admin come up as corrupt. I can go into account but not run anything. Same in safe mode.

Any help appreciated
 
Is it the 'hidden super admin' account, an account you've called admin or an account with admin rights?

If its the last 2 then save any documents and settings you want to keep, create a new account with admin rights and delete the corrupt account.
 
Yes it is the 'Hidden Admin' acct. I have hoping for a fix without deleting the account as i was in the process of setting it all up and never got a chance to back it up!

But such is life pain and gain.

Also makes me wonder whether this super admin account is less reliable than one with admin rights.

Thanks.
 
Just discovered that all file associations for .exe have been taken up by winrar, thus nothing executes !

Damn i have opened up files within winrar (ver 3.71) many times before without any problems but this has certainly taught me a lesson !
