Ooooooo That's bad!

Hive File is where all the bizzy likkle bees live and they have to carry all the pixels around 'cos pixels can't fly.

No hive file = no bizzy bees = No pooter workee.

A hive is a logical group of keys, subkeys, and values in the registry that has a set of supporting files containing backups of its data.

Each time a new user logs on to a computer, a new hive is created for that user with a separate file for the user profile. This is called the user profile hive. A user's hive contains specific registry information pertaining to the user's application settings, desktop, environment, network connections, and printers. User profile hives are located under the HKEY_USERS key.

Registry files have the following two formats: standard and latest. The standard format is the only format supported by Windows 2000. It is also supported by later versions of Windows for backward compatibility. The latest format is supported starting with Windows XP. On versions of Windows that support the latest format, the following hives still use the standard format: HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security, and HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT; all other hives use the latest format.

Most of the supporting files for the hives are in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Config directory. These files are updated each time a user logs on. The file name extensions of the files in these directories, or in some cases a lack of an extension, indicate the type of data they contain. The following table lists these extensions along with a description of the data in the file.

I think you'll have to get a man in... happy100

Frankly I preferred my explanation but if I were Miss D and looking to avoid going into the office I'd try restoring to a previous date when the bloody thing was there.
