Guest John Barnett MVP Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 You have obviously visited this link for information on removing the virus: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/...2030-99&tabid=3 The registry key is there. The best option is to search for it. Open regedit, Click Edit on he main toolbar and then select Find. In the find dialogue box type: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer (or better still copy and paste it into the find box) -- -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
