There are several ways to go about fixing system problems. I followed
instructions previously given to me by Microsoft. They started off by
turning System Restore off and then running sfc /scannow. This means that
any restore state that existed prior to this procedure has been deleted.
There is no state to restore to that does not include the corrupted Welcome
screen. Can someone identify the *.ini or Welcome startup screen that can be
edited or the registry entries that can be edited to correct this situation?
It is minor; however, I do not know if other programs have been affected by
this situation. When I installed Adobe Type Manager, instead of Latin
alphabetical characters it suddenly switched to Wingdings. I rebooted and
that is when I noticed that the Welcome screen had been perverted. When I
tried to enter things into dialog boxes prior to the reboot, the same
Wingdings font was used.
