    The file ntuser found in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator
    says it's a Video CD Movie. It won't play - says the file is corrupted.
    Have tried Revo Uninstaller and Add/Remove to no avail. :eek:
    Also tried Malwarebyte's FileAssassin.

    Please note that removing that may foul up your system. ntuser.dat is part of the registry!

    Probably because some software you installed 'claimed' the .dat extension for itself...

    Thx Arie, I'm SO glad you jumped in.
    A few more minutes and I might have deleted it. :eek:

    Yeah, I wasn't careful enough.
    Legit ntuser.* file can be found in many locations. On my Vista, I have 93 occurrences.
    I apologize :)
