Hi Geoff,
A dead registry entry. Run regedit from the start/search line, expand the keys to reach these branches (one at a time): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run Click on the "run" key, then look in the right pane for an entry that loads "" and delete it. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "geoff8282" wrote in message ...
