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!

cmd.exe and regedit.exe open and immediately close again

Asked by bgrsyd in Networking Security Vulnerabilities, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: cmd.exe regedit.exe

When I open cmd.exe from the Start | Run menu the command prompt flashes open and then the whole desktop blinks, the command prompt closes and explorer seems to reload.  As if you kill explorer.exe in task manager and start another instance.
The machine has only started doing this in the last week or so.
It's running XP Pro with SP2 with the latest patches.
It runs behind a firewall and under Trend Micro Worry Free Business.
I have spent 20 hours or so scanning with a variety of tools run from Safe mode, following advisories from the internet.  
If I run cmd.exe from the system32 directory using Run As administrator it works, but running it as my user, which is administrator equiv I get the above behaviour.
I'm an IT guy, not a complete knucklehead, but I'm out of ideas on this one.
Any ideas?  Thanks.
