Thank you to all those who replied. But I think I maybe in a bigger pickle than this. THe optioned mentioned, do not come up on the pop-up menu.


*What* "option mentioned?" Remember, we can't see your computer monitor, so you have to be very specific and precise in describing what you do or do not see.


Is there a way to modify this in the registry?


There's no way to answer this, because you have told us what you're taking about.


I loaded windows XP PRo on top of XP Home prior to redirecting my files from my previous profile.


Do you mean that you performed an Upgrade? It certainly doesn't sound like it, as an upgrade would have left your user profile intact, with no "previous" profile from which to recover files.
