Hey everyone.

Whenever I startup my machine or reboot I get the "Open With" dialog box appearing. It's not life threatening or anything but it sure is annoying. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to rid myself of this little pest?

TIA

Run msconfig and check what's in the Startup tab. You probably have something in there that's unassociated - possibly a VIRUS.

Thx glc

I went through the startup tab and unchecked everything that might be associated with a startup program but no luck. Will run virus scan today and i'll keep you posted.

Also check the Startup group in the start menu - that stuff is not always in msconfig. If you know what you are looking at, system.ini and win.ini need to be checked too.
