346235	2005-04-18 01:44:00	Hi guys :). A friend from out of town dropped off his computer - Compaq Presario,1.8 ghz,256 mb ram,40 gig hdd. Unfortunately somebody had, had a play with it while he was out of town, they had networked it to their lappy, which was infected wtih a virus which is known to spread via mapped drives and network shares (Win32.Parite/Pinfi), in turn infecting his system etc... Anyway i have dealt with the virus no probs. However (I don't know if this is virus related?), i noticed that when logging off and reaching the welcome screen, the bottom button(red), which normally says "Turn off computer" - says "Turn off Music". The system will however turn off normally with the button, its just that the description is wrong...(which annoys me thoroughly ;) ). Can anybody tell me where i can change this back (presume its a reg. edit) to read what it should? I have had a good search but haven't found anything regarding this? Any help appreciated, thanks. As a side note there are no programs installed that could/should affect this either, also this computer has never been connected to the net (until now to do the virus updates etc... which i have done), so the only other possiblity is its somethig off the lappy they copied over maybe? I have tried using SFC, cleaned it out with Spybot just in case (which wasn't nescessary as it hadn't been online though). Finally i would use/try a repair with the recovery discs - however he didn't make any, so i am going to do that too (make the recovery discs), but i would like to sort this out first, and really it seems to be running well now, just this niggle.

Check and see what the computer name is in the System Properties because from memory when I saw this it had "Turn off computer name " Don't know how it got to be like this though?? Maybe a free program from the net??	CYaBro (73)
346238	2005-04-18 03:40:00	Thanks guys, i had tried changing the xp theme to classic and back already and also knew it wasn't the computers name either..., so i didn't check the properties again (cause i knew the puter name). However Cyabro - you were close enough :thumbs: - it was actually the computer ""Description" i.e he uses this computer for his "Music" composing etc... so they obviously put that in description from day one,lol. Cheers CYaBro ;) , one less thing to worry about (i was pretty sure it wasn't Virus related or 3rd party program as he hadn't been online) another handy thing to know :D .	J ZEP (336)
