Deleted State Manager in msconfig

[doctorj]

I stupidly removed State Manager from msconfig by mistake. Since, computer has behaved badly. Freeze on boot, applications not completely loading, temp lost of Web (E-mail (NS) OK), etc. I extracted statemgr.exe from Cabs, but I don't know where to put it. I thought C:\Windows\System\Restore, but no help. I am fairly well acquainted with Registry, if there is a solution there.

Welcome :)

The statemgr.exe file does reside in that folder.

The registry key is under Local Machine Run Services


REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices]
"*StateMgr"="C:\\WINDOWS\\System\\Restore\\StateMgr.exe"


Note that CurrentVersion should have no space.

Thanks, Degsy,

I'm at work, now; will do it when I get home. Sounds good.
