here is what came up in Notepad after running what you asked for:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000091
"NoDrives"=dword:00000000
"NoViewOnDrive"=dword:00000000

pwillener,
thank you for explaining about saving to a .bat files. And to answer your question about AntiVirus software, yes I do have Norton Internet Security which I make it a habit of running a full system scan every two or three days with my antivirus profiles being updated daily. One of the first things I did after this happened was to run a full system scan, and the reason I said it was CCleaner is as I said before, right after using CCleaner is when I noticed this problem. I put 2+2 together and came up with CCleaner, I don't know if this is right or wrong but that's what I came up with. I do know from past experience (you would think I'd learn) that when you start deleting files from the regisrty things like this are possible.
I will take a look at the article you sent the link too and there we are again, I know I didn't make any changes to my security settings. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to argue with you all I am doing is following the trail backwards. Thank you non the less.
