This is a home computer, used in a Workgroup. I set up my account first,

error. My wife cannot. When she tries to open c:\Program Files, she gets
a
File Not Accessible error window. I have, via Windows "User Accounts",
deleted her account completely. I ran EasyCleaner to wipe out any
extraneous
registry keys. I've rebooted the PC. Then I added another new Computer
Administrator account, using a completely unique name. Rebooted and
opened the new account, and I get a "Please wait wile Windows is being
configured"
window. C:\Program Files is still not accessible. I have a feeling that
I messed up a security setting somewhere, but I don't know where.
You've already gotten an answer in the other newsgroup to which you posted.
Please don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you
*less* help, not more. See this for why:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting
http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm - multiposting
If you have forgotten where you posted or can't find your post, use Google
Groups Advanced Search and search for your name.
Short answer: you used a registry cleaner so all bets are off. See this
thread as to why registry cleaners are Bad:

Do a clean install of the operating system or have someone who knows what
they are doing do it for you.
Further questions should be posted in your original thread, not this one.
