Help please.

I am having a start-up problem.

RiscPC with StrongArm

When switched on the computer starts up with the normal RiscOS logo,
followed by the basic desktop icons as below:
CD   HD   FD  Apps   RAM  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  Display   Acorn

This is immediately followed by an Error window stating:

An Application that loads a File of this type has not been 
found by the Filer.   Open a Directory Display containing 
the required Application and try again.

Clicking cancel on this window lets the computer complete its loading
of Apps such as Printer, Clock, LongFiles, MemNow  etc.

This problem occured when I tried to install an update to longfiles,
but reverting to the older longfiles has made no difference.

How can I find which Application has not been seen by the Filer,
or which file is causing the problem ?

So far I have tried to remove, in turn, every App and File from:
!Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesk  and  Tasks

Thanks,

Harry
