Installed a piece of software for creating menus deleted it and now the drive icon in my computer and explorer is a white sheet with the windows logo on. Clicking on the drive icon brings up the error Windows cannot find the program pgdmenu.exe this program is needed for opening files of the type "file" Have checked file associations and there are none for this prog. Checked win and sys.ini ,no mention. Have run regclean with no results . Checked the registry and under Hkey classes root there is a value under Autorun/4/default icon of"E\pgdmenu.exe" under this there is shell with a value of auto run then beneath this there is auto run with the value"Auto&play" then command with a value of "pgdmenu.exe" I presume that this entry is the problem yet if it is removed it reappears when the machine is rebooted so the problem remains. Any registery gurus out there that could help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Keith
