god I feel like a failure. I just put in the address bar C:\WINDOWS\system32 and there. But still this gigantic amount of adware still isn't gone. O well this topic is no longer needed.

If you want still want to know it's:
Open up My Computer
Tools --> Folder Options
View --> Scroll down to "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
Un-tick it
Then go through the C:/WINDOWS sh*t.

Be careful of what you delete in system32!!
If you suspicous of some files make sure that they are what you think.

wndows washer, how would that help? I have it just to clean up exess junk.
that foldr thing doesn't work I always have it that way.
And I fixed the problem.
But does anyone know why windowblinds wouldn't save the settings after restarting windows?
