Yeah, format the drive, and re-install Windows. At this point it is 
really your only option. And next time, add a user with restricted

I have to call up the Task Manager to reboot or log out.  That's the only tool I can call up, or the only keyboard sequence that will work.  The "Windows" key does nothing.  I can access files on the computer remotely via our wireless router, but cannot access anything on the computer itself, since no keyboard or mouse action works, even right-clicking for Properties.  Any ideas?
