Dont know what proceeded this incident, PS was running,
connected to the internet; virus free (according to
symantec automated scan previous day) ; assume therefore
it is not a virus but rather a lost link or regedit entry
that got lost somewhere. dont know how though... every
time i use "search" to find any of the missing files,
windows gives me an error message and shuts down the
current task...hope this is useful info...
