Netlogon is exactly what it says, it is a service used for logging onto the network.

It is used for things such as authenticating and locating domain controlers (not the best idea to rename or delete).

Do you have a backup? You can always hit F7 and enter the safe mode selection, then choose the directory services restore mode.

If you have an NT Backup file and can get into the services restore mode you can then restore the system state.

If you don't use NT Backup let us know what backup software you use.
