The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Getting error: "Profile too large" after removing virus

Asked by mythology8 in Microsoft Operating Systems, Windows XP Operating System, Desktop Anti-Virus

Tags: av2009, anti virus 2009, trojan, malware, profile, windows xp pro

I did a stupid thing and opened a file I shouldn't have... and got a variant of the RENOS virus/trojan. This thing really hurt me and took days to get rid of. But... I'm now back up and running with what looks like a smoot operating system (Win XP Pro).
However, the virus replaced my desktop wallpaper with its own 'got ya' type thing. Well, now when I right-click the desktop and drill down to change the desktop wallpaper it is showing EVERY, and I mean EVERY photo I have on my machine listed in the scroll window from which I would normally chose from one of Windows XP's brief list of choices.
I am getting hte PROFILE TOO LARGE error via a balloon in my systray (icon is a red circle with white X) telling me the profile is too large and I must delete/move files before I will be allowed to reboot/shut down. (I just power off/on if need be in the interim).
I think the HUGE list of choices for wallpaper may be my issue for the large profile error.
My question is.... how do I redirect my list from EVERY PHOTO in my /My Documents/My Photos to something/somewhere else? Or... just back to normal? I am not seeing any of the default photo choices when I scroll down this LONG LONG list.
