I recently just got help with a malware removal issue.

However, in running the appropriate apps, it seems ComboFix.exe reset some of my XP settings. Here are a few areas I had previously configured that were reset:

- Notepad "Word Wrap" option reset
- Windows Firewall enabled in Services after it was turned off
- Internet Explorer Home Tabs removed
- System Restore enabled after it was disabled previously
- Desktop Icons that had been removed were restored


I was hoping I could find a list of everything ComboFix.exe resets so I can reconfig just those areas instead of trying to check my entire system, which can be quite time consuming.

Thanks! ;)
