On XP / Vista, this is likely an issue with the winlogon key in the registry being either missing or corrupt. This is the result of a virus, or more commonly, virus software automatically removing a virus. If you can boot to a recovery console or off your original install disk, edit the registry to add/repair these keys: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "Shell"="Explorer.exe" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "Userinit"="C:\\Windows\\system32\\userinit.exe," This will solve your immediate issue and allow you to log on, but you still want to do a full virus scan.

The name of the virus is brontok. It effects system's winlogon file and hides tools menu..also it will restart PC if you open msconfig, registry editor or dos..

Winlogon is the component of Microsoft Windows operating systems that is responsible for handling the secure attention sequence, loading the user profile on logon, and optionally locking the computer when a screensaver is running (requiring another authentication step). Winlogon handles interface functions that are independent of authentication policy. It creates the desktops for the window station, implements time-out operations, and in versions of Windows prior to Windows Vista, provides a set of support functions for the GINA and takes responsibility for configuring machine and user Group Policy. If your PC has been experienced winlogon exe error, you should replace the corrupted one with the compatible version.
The Windows environment contains numerous items to keep the system running properly. RAM, file allocation, system idle process, and Winlogon are all parts of the environment.
