That is exactly what I have had to do...the "OPIMIZER.exe "
was also in there along with a whole assortment of other
stuff and I got rid of it and the "EXPLORER.exe" stayed
the same??
I am unsure what caused this as I would like someone to
identify it so that it doesn't happen again or can at
least be identified??
I lost my .PST file which was the only causualty due to my
own mistakes..??
Live and learn I guess...if some one else has anything
else ..let me know
Thanks
