How do I restore my XP pro edition without having to use the the start-sistem tools-restore? I know there is a key when it restarts that I dont know that goes straight into restoration process?
When I want to acces anything it says - Windows cannot acces the specified device,path or file. You may not have apermission to acces the file- How can I do this? Please help

You deleted the Windows NT Session Manager file. Boot from a Windows XP CD into a Recovery Console and restore the file from the I386 folder on the CD.

No, but you can use any Windows XP Pro CD.
