• "Do not use the procedure that is described in this article if your computer has an OEM-installed operating system." (it did)
• "This article assumes that typical recovery methods have failed and access to the system is not available except by using Recovery Console." (sounds ominous)

1. Boot system via BartPE
2. BACKUP DATA!!!
3. Move c:\windows\system32\config\system, software, sam, security, and default to temporary directory
4. Copy (not cut) and paste those same 5 files back to their original location
5. Reboot computer

UPDATE 1: Stephen kindly wrote in with the following advice:

There are 2 reasons that come to mind why what you did worked.

1. The files were crosslinked, in which case a chkdsk /f is in order.
2. There are bad sectors on the hdd, in which case a replacement drive is in order.

I don't see how simply moving and recopying the files would repair them otherwise. There is another utility called Registry Restore Wizard to copy the registry from the system restore using BartPE.

The reason for the error message above is HEAVY fragmentation of those registry files and this is also why copying the files from A to B and back to A helps in this case. It's not really a "mystery", Windows just reacts somewhat picky when booting. The error was already known on Windows 2000 by the way. A good thing to do is to regularly defrag those files when necessary, an easy way to do so is by running the PageDefrag utility from Sysinternals.

• X-Ray Mail Assistant is a freeware email header filter and POP/SMTP server switching tool. It runs as a local POP/SMTP relay server and scans your incoming and/or outgoing mail for user specified mail headers. Once it finds a match it can change the header, remove it, replace it or perform some other special modifications. In addition, the program allows you to set up multiple profiles for POP and SMTP servers and switch between them from the system tray. Installer-free version available (though it stores settings in both a local INI file and the registry).

If you want your dream to be, build it slow and surely.
Small beginnings, greater ends. Heartfelt work grows purely.
If you want to live life free, take your time, go slowly.
Do few things, but do them well: simple joys are holy.
Day by day, stone by stone, build your secret slowly.
Day by day, you'll grow too; you'll know heaven's glory!

Brother sun, sister moon, I seldom see you, seldom hear your tune
Preoccupied with selfish misery
Brother wind and sister air, open my eyes to visions pure and fair
That I may see the glory around me
I am God's creature, of you I am part
I feel His love awakening my heart
Brother sun, and sister moon, I now do see you, I can hear your tune
So much in love with all that I survey
I am God's creature, of Him I am part
I feel His love awakening my heart
Brother sun and sister moon, I now do see you, I can hear your tune
So much in love with all that I survey
