During all this I did System Restore, undid System Restore, redid System Restore, a nightmare.
As a result of al this I have dozens and dozens of "files have been renamed to preserve their contents", such as alg(2).exe, alrsvc(2).dll. I even have a few with (2)(2). For each such file, there is a corresponding alg.exe, alrsvc.dll.
Is it okay to delete these files?
