 logged in as an ordinary Domain User
------------------->snip!<-------------------
all entries in

\Documents and Settings\ordinaryDomainUserMrX\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Run
(and possibly others)

were not executed but the registry seemed intact. (Why the hack were
they not ececuted - the registry entries all seem fine?)

Strange thing - if I login as Domain Admin, the same processes that were
not autostarted for the ordinary user, now all started as expected....
------------------->snip!<-------------------
Anyone any good ideas?


  Yes, me.  Check the perms on the registry keys using regedt32.  Perhaps
some misguided attempt to tighten registry permissions has left the per-user
startup keys without read-permissions for the user in question?


  LOL, that would be just like SOOooooo Microsfot!

    cheers,

NTBugtraq Editor's Note:

Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an 
Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of a 
message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who 
did not actually send you a virus may receive the notification and scramble 
their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first 
place. Suggest such notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for 
your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
