AOL is taking over my computer!
It sounds like "mspaint.exe" and "wordpad.exe" have been removed from
"C:\Program Files\Accessories", so you probably need to extract fresh copies of these files from your Windows 98 CD to that folder. To restore the shortcuts, start Notepad, copy and paste the following text to it and save it as "c:\windows\setup.ini". Then click "Start", "Run", type "grpconv -o" into the "Open" box and click "OK". Also, to restore the volume control, go to "Control Panel", "Multimedia", check the box marked "Show volume control..." and click "OK". [progman.groups] shortcuts=Accessories [shortcuts] "Wordpad","""C:\Program Files\Accessories\wordpad.exe""" "Paint","""C:\Program Files\Accessories\mspaint.exe""" [end] Ben Clark S." Clark wrote in message ... I have Windows 98, and something is terribly, terribly wrong. There is an icon for free AOL setup on my desktop, and I have no idea where it came from. I tried to open WordPad the other day, and instead of launching WordPad my computer opened an installer for AOL! Then, when I went to the Start Menu, I saw that the WordPad icon has been replaced with an AOL icon. When I go to actual WordPad files (which still look the same) and try to open them, a dialog box pops up that says "Program Not Found." It appears that this AOL installer has completely replaced WordPad! Now, today, I went on the Start Menu again and noticed the same thing has happened to Paint -- the AOL Setup program has replaced it, too! What is going on? I suspect a virus or something. Recently, I cleaned up unused files on my computer (which got rid of Volume Control, argh) but WordPad and Paint were still there after that... Please help me! I never liked AOL to begin with...
