I got a window saying it is not associated with any application. The Tools folder has everything you listed but I did not move it to Documents. I moved it and tried again but got the same message.
Addtorightclick.bat is in the Desktop.
disableservices&task.bat is in Desktop and in its own folder on the Desktop.

Seems one drive may still be active, if it is that will conflict with the commands.
Make certain Blackbird.exe is on the desktop, not in any folder.
Hit the windows Key and R at the same time:
Copy this:
Paste into the run box window.
Hit Enter or Click OK
Then when BlackBird loads.
Hit enter again.
Close the window when complete.
Reboot the machine.

Blackbird.exe is directly on the desktop.
Pasted command into Run box, Blackbird did not load. No response whatsoever after hitting OK.
ok, I just need to see something. Can you please re-run FRST and post new FRST and Addition.txt logs this way I can see if One drive is still active and what files were created etc. Thanks. Can you also open the tools folder and screen shot what is inside it for me.
One drive is still active.
So here is the new batch file: This will account for one drive being there and one drive not being there, so either way it works.
Save this as onedrive.bat
Right click and run as admin.
You will then right click kill.bat that is located in the documents folder.
Click edit
Then highlight and delete everything.
Copy this inside the code box below.
Paste into the kill.bat that you have open.
Close and when prompted save the changes.

Try moving the app back to the Desktop?

No, everything needs to be in the documents >>> tools folder in order for this to work.
Ok, lets do this.
Open documents then tools.
Right click kill.bat
create shortcut.
Then right click the shortcut.
Pin to start menu.
Then you will be able to click the start menu, then kill.bat shortcut

According to your FRST logs, Blackbird.exe is not on your desktop.
This
needs to be on the desktop.
Then this command will work, effectively disabling one drive.
Hit the windows Key and R at the same time:

Paste into the run box window.
Hit Enter or Click OK
Then when BlackBird loads.
Hit enter again.
Close the window when complete.
Reboot the computer.

Working off of post #109, I did all the steps (Kill is in the Start menu). I chose it and did NOT get the previous Error msg. It flashed a small black window for a fraction of a second, then nothing further. I repeated this and nothing happened.
Per #110, Blackbird.exe is and has been on the Desktop (see attached). The icon looks different than yours, but when I click on Properties, it says it's an application of about 610 KB. Is this the same one?
Meantime, I'm working on the rest of the instructions...

I ran both command codes, nothing happened with either. Blackbird never loaded. I don't remember it loading in the previous attempts, either.
I ran Kill from Start menu just to see what would happen. Something flashed and then nothing. Everything is as it was.

Ok. As a test open a notepad leave it open, then run the kill em all shortcut on the start menu, this should close the notepad.
Also, go to the tools folder double click KillEmAll_Allowed.txt screen shot that for me.

FRST Fix.
Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop.
NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST/FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.
Right Click Run FRST64 as admin; and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally.
After that let the tool complete its run.
When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt).
Please post it to your reply.

KIll did not close Notepad. Folder has Chrome only.
HOWEVER...I had to extract Kill twice because I couldn't find the exe. So, there was an app on the Desktop (still in its folder) as well as the app in Tools. I'm sure I made the shortcut from the app in Tools because that's where Windows placed the shortcut. I deleted the other app and folder and tried again, but same results.
Should we delete the shortcut from Start and make a new one and replace the old?

No so long as FRST64 is on the desktop.
And the killbat looks good so long as that is in the tools folder.
When you right click Killemall.exe and run it that should close everything except chrome. When you right click and run as admin, hit enter then click L then enter again, that should open a log post it here.
OK. I'll have to resume this later tonight, got a hard commitment. Will run these tonight. Please don't post anything new until I do these.
Thanks for all this help!
