Clear the Recent Files list
r-click on the TaskBar, select Properties - go tot the Advanced tab, and slect the Clear button - OK out, and your problem should be gone -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "flash" wrote in message . net...

Thanks for your help, Noel. I did what you said; I then re-booted. But,
alas, the problem is still there. "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

Hmmm - unusual, that clearing the Recent files list doesn't clear that.....
try this Open Search for files & folders in the 'Containing text' box, put A: then put a check in the Type box, and look for the 'Shortcut to a document' entry - highlight it, and click Search see what it finds -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "flash" wrote in message ...
