Davedave,
Thank you, but Paint Shop Pro is not one of the offenders. They include Adaptec
Easy CD and its associated jewel case labeling program and an electronic circuit
capture program called DesignWorks, both from respectable sources. I'm afraid I
am not computer-savvy enough to know what you mean by removing permissions in the
registry. There are indeed entries in Shellnew for the offending programs, but as
I said before, if I delete them from Shellnew, they reappear as soon as I open one
of those programs. I assume that I need to leave the entries but change the long
string of alphanumerics following each entry.
