Okay, to check and replace missing system files, follow these directions. Make sure you have the ORIGINAL operating system cd (XP ?) in the CDrom Drive:

Start > Run > cmd (ok)

This will open a Command Shell (black window), and in this you type:

sfc /scannow

Here is mroe on the command from MS:

and another pretty good page on its use:

How do I reset the password on the windows 7 home page

Windows has a built-in security system that requires a user to type in a password to get to his personal account.
Only an "Administrator" account holder can make software changes to the computer.
All other users, including Guest users, need the permission of an Administrator to make any system changes.
However, if you have a guest account and need to access the Administrator account to make changes, you can do so via the Command Prompt feature.
Log in to your Guest account in Windows.
Go to "Start" > "Search" and type in "windows/system32/cmd.exe" to find the Command Prompt feature.
When the file appears on the search menu, drag it to your desktop.
Leave the search window open.

Right-click the cmd.exe file on your desktop and choose "Rename."
Type "sethc.exe" for the new name and click on an empty area next to the file name to save the new name.
Right-click on the "sethc.exe" file and click on "Copy."
Go back to the open "windows/system32" folder and right-click anywhere in the folder.
Select "Paste" to put the "sethc.exe" file inside.
Choose "Yes" when asked if you want to overwrite the current file.
Go to "Start" > "Log Off." It will bring you back to the User Account menu.
Press the "Shift" key 5 times in a row.
The Command Prompt will open.
Type "net user administrator [password]" and insert a new password in the [password] section.
Press "Enter" to set your new password.
It will bring you back to the User Accounts menu.
Click on the Administrator User Account and type the password you just set to log in to the account.

I want to know how to delete a standerd user account?

I you are using Windows, click "Start" then "Control Panel" then "User Accounts," then "Change an Account." Choose the account you wish to delete, then click "Delete Account" it will ask you if you want to keep the account's files, say yes only if you had something important on that account. NOTE:you can only delete accounts if you are a administrator.
If you are using a Mac, click "System Preferences" then "Accounts" then select the account you wish to delete and click the little minus sign at the bottom. NOTE: Like Windows, you can only delete accounts if you are an administrator.

Mac Mini Desktop/Finder Problem

Hello, sorry to hear you are having problems,
THis is a classic symptom of corrupt finder preferences.
Best way to test this is to log in under another user account. If you do not have another user account, please create one, call it myadmin or something like that give it the same password as you have for your user and be sure to give it admin privileges.
You can do this by going into the system preferences and selecting the Accounts icon and clicking on the ( + ) on the bottom left hand side.
If the new user account exhibits the same symptoms, the finder may actually be corrupt. Don't worry, this is very very rare...
So, if the other user seems fine, we need to check a few things before going any further...
Have you installed any new programs or utilities or fonts or anything lately?
If so, be sure they did not install anything in your startup items, you can check this in the system preferences / accounts / Login Items... go through the list and remove anything you did not put there yourself. If you do find a few things, simply select them and hit delete on the keyboard or the ( - ) minus sign on the bottom left hand side of the window.
If you removed several items, try rebooting and see if it is better.
If there was nothing, we may need to delete your finder preferences.
Are you up for this, we are going to trash your finder preferences and then restart ..
  1. make sure nothing is running except the finder
  2. open your user home folder
  3. open your library folder
  4. open your preferences folder
  5. find this file: com.apple.finder.plist
  6. put it in the trash
  7. DO NOT EMPTY TRASH
  8. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE
  9. restart your computer
  10. empty trash once you have restarted
  11. fix up your finder the way you like it. Voila
You should be able to get on your way with this...
