What did you do in the registry to 'hack' it? You may have stored up some
issues for the future- I hope you backed it up before changing it, always a
wise move with any registry.

Those would be in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Darn, I was doing it from memory. Didn't have my PPC with me at the time (I
know that is wrong.)

Just like a real PC Bruce, Programs (exe's) are in the program directory,
the shortcuts are in the Start Menu. I gotta admit I go from memory
sometimes too.

I used Resco Explorer 2003 to search for all instances of the program in
question and then deleted all keys that related to it. No problems with the
device so far.

Thanks for your help.

PAUL :-)
