In most cases where replacing the userinit.exe does not work the reason is quite simple: You fooled around with your hard disk, changed the disk and/or controller. Now when you start Windows, just as you log in the operating system assigns its drive letters. However, due to a changed disk or controller, the drive letters don’t get assigned correctly. They may look right in the recovery console, but standard Windows (as well as Safe Mode) is a different story.
Now you can replace userinit.exe as often as you want, it won’t help, because the file is not broken or corrupt, and not infected either. Windows just can’t find it, because it’s not looking for it on the right drive.

To get this fixed, edit the registry of the system that always logs you off. There are many ways to do this from another system, google for it. There, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices , look for entries like \DosDevices\D: etc. Make sure the right drive letters are assigned there. You can do so by comparing this to the system as it was before you made the change (if you still have a backup). If you don’t know for sure which letter was assigned to your system drive, you may just have to try.
Changing the entries works by right-clicking on them, selecting “rename” (in standard regedit) and changing \DosDevices\D: to \DosDevices\C:, for example.

These microsoft articles may help as well, as they explain the issue:

Dear Friends,

I am able to connect to the Regedit of the infected PC through the network but was not able to open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE & I was not allowed to open. Is there any other solution to recover the problem without reinstalling OS.
