Glee-
Thanks for the suggestion. I had to jump through a few more hoops than what you stated, but I got the Notepad destination into Sendto. I had to find my identity under C:\, open that and find "Sendto" (not terribly difficult), then add a shortcut to "Notepad.exe" in the Windows folder. I'll probably use it soon. Stay safe, and may G-d bless. I wish you His peace. Dan |

Gary........having read this explanation....and not being a puter person of
much knowledge.......is this similar to my problem ? I'am getting kicked out of Internet Explorer6 quite often ( have downloaded again / updates with no help) I have Windows 2000 Professional on an older HP Pavilion. I'm on cable ( comcast) . Its been working great ,,,then all of a sudden I start getting a "Microsoft Internet Explorer has encoundtered a problem and must shut down." it asks if I want to report it ,,,I click on yes.....then it gives me a window that reporting has finished and if I'd like more infomation..click here. when I do so I get another window or "program not found" "windows cannot find blank.exe / this program is needed for opening files of type 'URL:Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.' Could of this file been deleted accidently ? as I constantly defrag runs scans etc to keep puter clean and running as fast as it can as stated its on old one. Is there somewhere to retrieve or download it as a replacement I guess you'd say......as it is annoying being kicked out of explorer constantly,,,,,not everytime,,,but in last 2 weeks or so more and more it seems. Anyone plus yourself who might be able to help............Please do :- ).. annoyed in Jersey Thank You ! "Gary S.

You are infested with malware. Go to this page and follow through all of the
procedures there. Does that fix things? http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "NjCrabs" wrote in message ...

I should mention that it's the "blank.exe" part that is hinky. I thought I
knew of a more direct way to clean it up, but I can't find it now. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ... You are infested with malware.
