Logon and Registry

I placed an exclamation mark(!) in front of my G drive in the registry as: Userinit=!G:\WINNIT\system32\userinit.exe intending to disable the line as that folder pops up during bootup. Now I cannot log on to Windows. I use Control+Alt+Delete to log on.

My system is partitioned, hence this question is being sent from my C drive which cannot see my G drive. How can I bypass Ctrl + Alt+Delete to gain access to the registry to remove the exclamation mark. I'm desperate. Help, urgent.

Are you trying to boot to Win98 or Win2k?

For Win98 try booting up in safe mode...
For Win2K try booting up in safe mode...

Hi

You need to do 2 things:

1- Boot using a boot disk which can access NTFS partition such as ntfsdos.
2- edit registry off line.

Good luck
