Re: Folders pop up after execute

Seems like I'm the only person to have this problem - nowhere has anything on it.

What nasties did my first advice pick up? - specifically, did any of them
mention CoolWebSearch?

HiJackThis would be a good start....

post the results of a scan (do NOT attempt a Fix yet!!) either here, or in
the dedicated forums -

No sign of CoolWebSearch and HiJackThis found nothing.

Have you tried a SCANREG /FIX yet?

I'm sure I won't be able to help you... but what, exactly do you mean by
"folders pop up in front of programs" ?



Rick

-all programs... and shortcuts?
-including M$ built-ins like scandisk'n'stuff?
-is "Start In" line in Properties(for Shortcuts) an existing folder ?
-behaviour consistent through Start/Run/<program name> ?
