It sounds like paint shop pro is set to open all folders. You can change this by opening up My Computer, go to Tools, Folder Options, File Types, and then checking on the Folder/File Folder icons there to see if this is the case.

Question C: Drive problems

Had a look and under it say's file types "(None) Drive"

In advanced and Edid file types it has Paint Shop Pro and Find, but no way to delete them and 1 box is ticked "Confirm after Download"

Hmm. I have "find" first on the list of the "(None) Drive", and then PartitionMagic 8. Confirm after Download is checked as well. Is it when you click on any folder that paint shop opens?

Question C: Drive Problem

Hi
No it is only when i double click on C: that PSP opens all the others open as they should, i can not delete the "browse PSP" so i associated it with find and it now opens find when i double click, but i can not even delete "find" form list?

MoveOnBoot allows you to Move, Copy or Delete files before Windows can lock or alter the files. The changes are made to your hard drive before Windows starts (it requires a restart of your system after you give MoveOnBoot its instructions). There are no messy boot or DOS commands, just a simple 3-step process. http://www.softwarepatch.com/software/moveonboot.html
